Wahda x Makan (In-person workshops)

We will deliver two workshops: Between the Local and Global: Palestine as an Indigenous and anti-Imperialist Struggle, and How to Talk About Palestine. 

In Between the Local and Global: Palestine as an Indigenous and anti-Imperialist Struggle, we will explore the concepts of indigeneity, settler-colonialism, and imperialism to understand Palestine as both a local Indigenous struggle for decolonisation as well as part of a global anti-imperialist struggle, and explore how together these frameworks shape our demands and strategies.

How to Talk About Palestine helps participants expand their skills when talking about Palestine by offering communication tips on how to engage in such conversations, and by building participants’ confidence to know how to respond to various arguments. Through facilitating a safe discussion space, we will go through a variety of recurring talking points regularly heard in the media and the wider public conversation, and we will collectively analyse these arguments and how to respond to them.

Wahda aims to foster a space of collective learning, where we can educate each other and strengthen our understanding of the interconnectedness of global anti-imperialist struggles.

All proceeds will be going to:

Gaza Sunbirds, a para-cycling team team providing community led aid in Gaza. They source food from local farms, warehouses and supermarkets, distributing them in areas where traditional aid cannot reach, with their smaller size allowing them to respond quickly to individual community needs.

Sunduq Al Sudan, a mutual aid organisation supporting relief efforts for Sudanese people. They are currently raising funds to support a children’s feeding program in Adré camp run by Hope and Haven Refugee Association operating within the Chadian branch of the NGO – Saving Alginina Initiative. SAI is a bi-national initiative that formed after the events of the war in June 2023 to help a large number of families who were forced to flee from their homes to the Chadian border region of Adré because of the outbreak of violence.
