Discovering Feminist Workshops, Camps And Related Events

When it comes to conferences, college, conventions and festivals, there are often a number of activities. In some cases, this includes feminist workshops. For example, there are a number of colleges and universities which host Feminist Theory Workshops on an annual basis.

In many cases, these workshops focus on equal work for equal pay, anti-discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual orientation and civil rights. Whereas, there are also feminist speakers which enlighten others by speaking at a number of LGBTQ+ parades and rallies around the world. Most often, those speaking at these events have a more receptive audience than other locations, such as in the workplace.

Recently, individuals and companies have been providing these workshops either on-site or at a conference center. Two companies offering these workshops are Soapbox and Ambivalently Yours, both of which are woman owned and operated. As such, the focus of workshops provided tend to lean toward feminism and feminist theory.

Beyond workshops, there are also other events such as weekend camps which allow women an opportunity learn about feminist issues. In addition, as these events are often more relaxed, women also tend to learn more about oneself and other women while in attendance. As with most events of this nature, there are often a number of different learning opportunities.

Women should note that these camping events are nothing like conferences, conventions, festivals or retreats. For, unlike others, these events often offer an overview of history and past work of a number of feminists. As this is the case, many whom attend these events often discover talents and interests in working on feminist agendas. In fact, when these events are held on an annual basis, there are many women whom will create and join a number of different affinity camps and groups.

In addition to learning about the history and work of others, the camp also provides the opportunity for all in attendance to examine and get to know oneself better. In the process, many have not only gained insight into the personal and political view one holds but have also discovered new talents and interests. As these events are open to all women, regardless of lifestyle, political party, race, religion, sexual orientation or political persuasion, it is important those planning to attend have an open mind, for while political discussions often become heated, emotional abuse and violence are never appropriate, and will not be tolerated, regardless of differences in these areas.

At most camps, popular feminists offer keynote speeches which can often inspire and motivate women to become involved in the movement. Whether creating art, working for a non-profit or volunteering time, all are important areas in which women can become involved. In addition, for those whom have the ability to do so, working on a rape crisis hotline, or at a shelter are areas in which there is often a high demand for paid staff and volunteers.

Whether attending a rally convention, conference, festival or workshop, connections made at these events can often last a lifetime. As such, it is not the length of the event which matters but rather the connections made with others while in attendance. For, when working with others of like-mind and interests, women are often more successful when it comes overcoming a number of issues.
