Changemaker Masterclass

We're thrilled to unveil our newest project: the Changemaker Masterclass, building upon the success of our well-loved 2-day Advocacy Masterclass and series of leadership programs, a staple in our offerings for the past 6 years. With its emphasis on advocacy skills, our original Advocacy Masterclass program serves as the foundation for this exciting new venture.

We extend an invitation to both our alumni and new changemakers, and seasoned leaders eager to enhance their impact as advocates for rainbow communities to drive meaningful change.

We’re rolling out an innovative approach that centres you, the learner, offering experiential learning opportunities that cultivate self-awareness, self-leadership, and collaboration, while also preparing you to adapt to change effectively.

Alongside these skills, you’ll gain evidence-based insights on how to navigate difficult conversations with confidence and clarity, empowering you to approach complex issues constructively.

We’re excited to be offering our new Changemaker Masterclass in the following locations:
