Join us on 2 November 2024 in Bristol for a dedicated day of training and organising. We've partnered with Amnesty International UK to help equip you with the knowledge and skills to effectively debate, hold meaningful conversations, and navigate your legal rights to protest and take action on campus.

This Palestine Mini-Series offers a cohesive understanding of the Palestinian struggle through four 1-hour sessions. The third session critically examines the apartheid framework in relation to the Palestinian context, outlining its strategic uses and its limitations.

Makan Director, Aimee Shalan,  will be joining educators and organisers that are doing powerful work for justice, locally, nationally, and globally–from resisting genocide to fighting for abolitionist futures.

This workshop aims to develop understandings of the material connections between justice for Palestine and climate justice. The session will dive into the relationship between settler colonialism and ecological violence on a local level, and discuss the relationship between the climate crisis and imperialism on a global scale and why the climate justice movement should have Palestine and anti-imperialism at the heart of it.

Hosted by Makan Director, Aimee Shalan, to mark the re-publication of Edward Said’s The Question of Palestine, this landmark event gathers eight key authors to reflect on the enduring legacy of Said’s work and its role in the ongoing Palestinian struggle for self-determination.

This interactive workshop will critique intersectionality and examine gender and sexuality in relation to Palestine. By focusing on the roles of Israeli settler colonialism and Western imperialism in gender and sexual oppression, as well as looking at frameworks for resistance and liberation, this workshop goes beyond the pink-washing framework to deepen our solidarity.

This Palestine Mini-Series offers a cohesive understanding of the Palestinian struggle through four 1-hour sessions taking place every other week. The final session focuses on the current period in the Palestinian struggle, focusing on the consequences of the so-called ‘peace process’ and on current forms of Palestinian and global resistance.

Makan Programmes & Outreach Manager, Sarona Bedwan, will participate on a panel discussion alongside Rebecca Vilkomerson, Rabbi Alissa Wise, Ben Jamal, and Asad Rehman following a book talk featuring the themes of their new book, Solidarity is the Political Version of Love: Lessons From Jewish Anti-Zionist Organizing.

In this interactive workshop, co-developed with Diversity & Ability, we examine concepts of disability and disablement in relation to Palestine. Through growing our understanding of disability justice in Palestine, we explore how disability justice is not only a human rights issue but also an integral part of the broader anti-colonial movement.

We're excite to collaborate with Cutting The Tightrope for our How To Talk About Palestine workshop. This online workshop helps participants hone 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 go through a variety of recurring talking points regularly heard in the media and the wider public conversation, and we collectively analyse these arguments and how to respond to them.
