Generating Momentum: Activist Leadership Training Camp
RPIRG and SCIC have teamed up to offer an amazing opportunity for activists in Saskatchewan this fall! During 4 days and 3 nights in the Qu'Appelle valley, participants will become acquainted with the latest in leadership activist skills training. We aim to create a safe, inclusive, challenging, self-reflective, dynamic, interactive and creative space within which all participants gain an understanding of ways to fight all forms of oppression. At the end of the three days, we hope to have inspired and equipped a crew of passionate, young Saskatchewanians to go out and make the world a better place.
