Workshops
Arts & Democracy has offered many workshops and learning exchanges since 2004, ranging from a one-hour conversation in the midst of a conference, to a weekend long workshop. The inter-generational workshops are designed to support ongoing local organizing, and teams of participants are encouraged to participate.
