Groundwork Sessions: Where knowledge meets action, rooted in community.

Knowledge & Action
Groundwork Sessions
What are they?
Groundwork Sessions aren’t your usual training programmes. These are shared learning spaces built with and for BIPOC-led, migrant, diaspora, and Global South organisations.
We start with your reality. Every organisation and every person brings a different story, shaped by community, identity, struggle, and strength. We want you to be able to see your own work in a bigger, interconnected picture, because the challenges we face are global — and so is the solidarity we build.
We don’t believe in top-down workshops. Instead, we facilitate healthy discussions and create a space for your own knowledge and local experience to shape the process. Together, we dig deep into the themes that matter — and build real skills to take that learning into action.
