About Activist Academy
Activist Academy is a non-profit organisation that teaches people around the world how to take action and organize. We are here for everyone who is concerned and angry about discrimination and inequality, global warming, the destruction of biodiversity, the absence of real democracy and the rise of the far right.
We don't only meet you where you feel the pain of the world, but we also want to embrace your hope and your dreams for the world. Whether you want to become a feminist activist, a peace activist, a climate justice activist, a community activist, we meet you right there where you want to get started.
Our students are ordinary people with an extraordinary ambition: to change the world. Not acting is not an option.
At Activist Academy, you will learn how.
Our Trainings
Both online and offline, we teach you how to start taking action:
- Developing your own striking and effective actions.
- Building your own action group: from recruiting to organizing.
- How to take action on the long haul.
- How to win with a campaign strategy.
We offer many trainings for activists who are getting started. But more experienced volunteers of grass roots movements will also find things which are of interest.
Activist Academy trainings are often free or very low costs. Because we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to organize a protest.
Our Team
Ike
When you start a campaign, you want to win. And to win, you need to have a good plan. That's what drives Ike, to build movements to overturn power and change the world. Her trademark is rock-solid strategies - so you will not just climb on the barricade, but will know which barricade to climb at what moment, to make a real impact.
Jeroen
For years now, Jeroen has been deeply involved in a diverse array of social movements, both professionally and in his free time. It’s safe to say he’s elevated activism to an art form. The art of building power around your demands, then translating that power into genuine social change—and the art of working together to make a difference for the people who matter to you.
