Training for Action

This is the home of the Activist Training Collective (ATC).  We are a loose network of activists who can train people, or put you in touch with other people who can, in your area.  

This page includes links to resources and the Blatant Incitement Project (BLINC) list of radical training.

It is also currently a slightly confusing archive for Training for Action (TfA), the project that trained people up in advance of the anti-G8 mobilisation in Scotland in 2005.   

Something holding you back?

Training for Action brings you:

  • Training Skills
  • Groupwork skills
  • Action skills
  • Legal skills

PRACTICAL - INSPIRING - SUPPORTIVE

Helping prepare ourselves for action at the G8 summit in Scotland, July 2005, and actions before and beyond!

You are: wanting to share your skills with others involved in activism and campaigning, and willing to pass on your experiences.

We are: a small group of unpaid activists who have given a number & variety of trainings over the last years.

We are providing a series of "Train the Trainer" style days for people who want to find ways to improve how we work together as activists.
People who come on these days can then take skills back to their various groups & communities and organise further trainings.

Pulled together by the Blatant Incitement Project and Seeds for Change Network
