*Political Education and Analysis- We believe that political education and analysis creates lifelong leaders and change makers who are able to critically examine issues while making connections between our issues locally, regionally, nationally and globally.
* Youth and Adult Ally Tracks- The tour consists of youth and adult ally tracks that will come together for intergenerational programming. The ally track gives adults a rare chance to support and challenge each other, exploring how to best foster youth leadership and intergenerational organizations.
*Skills, Tools and Strategy Building- Become the trainer and not just the participant- come learn new tools, techniques and strategies and share with others what has made your organization successful. Using popular education, research, theater, games, art, history and collective wisdom we’ll have fun while generating a new vision for the world we wish to see!
When you leave the camp you don’t leave the work-- we invite youth-led and youth-centered groups organizing for social change in the south and Appalachia to send a team of three people- two youth (13-18) and one adult ally- who would like to partner with Highlander to help train and organize with others in your community and your state to help make change including leading a “mini seeds of fire camp” in your community.
