Ecology of Social Movements : A training for experienced activists and organisers, who are looking to strengthen their strategic thinking and impact, while building meaningful transnational and transsectoral alliances. (31.08-06.09)

Dear friends, fellow organisers and activists,
We are very excited to introduce you to the result of three years of preparation and work: POROST! Porost is a new Central and Eastern European activist initiative that supports grassroots and civil society organizations through political education, research, and network-building.

Our name means Lichen in polish, a living symbiosis between fungus and plant, symbolizing cooperation and resilience. There are thousands of lichen species, thriving in all environments: from the freezing Arctic to hot deserts, sometimes without air or water. We found it both inspiring and fitting to our region’s conditions!
Let us invite you to our trainings in 2026! Their goal is to enhance the capacity in the region to overcome our shared authoritarian, exploited histories, and build something new, that is based on solidarity and mutual care.

All trainings are free of charge, and we can cover some of the travel costs based on individual needs.
Please read more about each training on the links and apply through the forms.
