Training

People Powered delivers online courses, research seminars and custom training designed to address common challenges faced by organizers of participatory democracy programs.

Our online courses guide participants through a learning journey, to understand the challenge, effective solutions, next steps and how you can get more support. Your guides for this journey are peers from organizations and institutions around the world that have led the most innovative work on the issue. We prepare fun and effective learning activities, action-oriented guidance and accessible resources for further learning. You commit to showing up and taking action afterward.

Our research seminars bring together leading practitioners and researchers to share and discuss innovative research and its implications for practitioners.

Our custom training offers partners support in addressing the needs of specific cohorts and groups.

Custom training

We collaborate with member and partner organizations on group training for specific cohorts of people.

Depending on your needs, we can either provide international speakers and expertise for an existing training or fully plan and deliver new training. 

We focus training on building the capacity of government and community leaders, through structured pedagogical activities, direct peer learning and guidance from top experts. All training is grounded in an equity and inclusion lens. At least half of speakers are women and at least half are from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, or Latin America. 

If your organization is interested in support for a group training, please contact us.
