Activist Training Seminar

The Activist Training Seminar is a daylong series of workshops conducted by experienced MAS Freedom Foundation staff. The seminars are held in cities around the country for Muslims and others who are interested in learning the skills necessary for effective activism.

The goal of the seminar is to produce trained and certified activists who can do political work, talk to the media, and build alliances with other groups. Once trained, these activists are able to deal confidently with issues that arise in their community.

In the Activist Training Seminar, you’ll learn:

Civics
  • An overview of the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights
  • Your state, county, and local governments
  • Tips for meetings with public officials

Community Outreach

  • Coalition building
  • Identification of potential allies
  • Techniques for interfaith work
Media Relations
  • How the news media really works
  • Building relationships with reporters
  • How to handle media interviews

Then, in breakout sessions and presentations, you’ll hone your skills in real time. With entertaining performances and evaluation by your expert trainers and classmates, you’ll practice building cooperation among activists, planning for press conferences, and meetings with public officials.To schedule a MAS Freedom Foundation Activist Training Seminar in your community, call 202-496-1288 or e-mail freedom@masnet.org
