Blackpool Activist Alliance invites you to a series of workshops where participants will share skills and knowledge that empower us to make positive change on the issues we care about. Activism 101 is a beginnerโ€™s guide, for young people who have questions and ideas like: am I an activist? how do I find my people? what is already happening locally?. You donโ€™t need to identify as an activist or come with any specific knowledge. Everyone has expertise to share through their lived-experience and anyone can be an activist! uggested age range 15-20, but if youโ€™re older or younger and interested in social action youโ€™re welcome. If you are under 16, your parent or carer will will need to fill in a consent form. Weโ€™ll email this to you once you sign up.
