Propagate, Pollinate, Practice: Curriculum Tools for a Just Transition

By Movement Generation

Propagate Pollinate Practice is a collection of curriculum tools from the US based Movement Generation Justice & Ecology Project.

Overview

Propagate, Pollinate, Practice: Curriculum Tools for a Just Transition was primarily assembled to assist people that have attended a Movement Generation Justice & Ecology Strategy Retreat, which typically take place at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Strategy retreats are MG’s signature program. They last 3-5 days and essentially focus on understanding the ecological crisis, and how to address the crisis by creating local economies that work for both people and the planet. Retreat alum have experienced many of the activities in this curriculum packet and we hope it serves as a resource that helps them organize their community in a way that builds power to meet their collective needs together. We imagine retreat alum can use these curriculum tools for personal development around the issues and to facilitate workshops for others.

Secondarily this packet was assembled for people that don’t have a deep experience with Movement Generation through our retreats, events, partnerships or workshops.

We hope the tools we offer can help you explore the contours of the ecological crisis in a solutions-oriented way for your own personal development. If you haven’t participated directly with us we respectfully ask that you refrain from hosting workshops or events using the curriculum to teach others. There are sophisticated points and strategies that can be confusing and easily misrepresented, especially if you haven’t attended an MG strategy event. So please use it as a personal learning tool for you and others.

You can learn more about Movement Generation, our analysis and strategies by subscribing to our monthly e-newsletter via movementgeneration.org. If you download these curriculum tools and use them please fill out this survey to help us continue to improve our efforts. For questions/comments please email mgtools AT movementgeneration.org
