When it comes to feminism, some consider it a theory, others a practice. When it comes feminist workshops, it is often feminist practitioners whom lead and attend these events. Whether held at a conference, convention, festival or rally, there are often a number of different topics covered in multiple workshops over the course of a day, a weekend, or a week. In other cases, there can be annual events, such as those related to feminist theory which are held at a number of different colleges and universities.
In many cases, these workshops focus on equal work for equal pay, anti-discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual orientation and civil rights. Whereas, there are also feminist speakers which enlighten others by speaking at a number of LGBTQ+ parades and rallies around the world. Most often, those speaking at these events have a more receptive audience than other locations, such as in the workplace.
Recently, individuals and companies have been providing these workshops either on-site or at a conference center. Two companies offering these workshops are Soapbox and Ambivalently Yours, both of which are woman owned and operated. As such, the focus of workshops provided tend to lean toward feminism and feminist theory.
In addition to workshops, there are now feminist camps which provide women the opportunity to learn about these issues in a more relaxed environment. When attending camp, women tend to learn more about oneself and others. For, camping allows time for conversations and entertainment while also providing platforms for learning with regards to different areas of womanhood.
It should be noted that a camp is nothing like a conference, convention, festival or retreat. In most cases, these events provide a front-row seat to an overview of history and work in this area. While this is the case, most are still developed so that those in attendance can participate in a number of different learning activities while exploring more about issues related to women.
Most all of these events teach about the history of the feminist and women's liberation movement of the 1960s. As such, those in attendance often get a great deal of insight as to how far women have come in the last century. While this is the case, the world is at a point where women and others are once again fighting for civil and equal rights.
In most cases, those attending camps will hear talks by a popular, well known and respected woman offering a keynote address. While this is also the case at a number of conferences, conventions, festivals and rallies, those at camps are often more laid back. As such, individuals often share stories with one another afterward over a campfire or take walks and talk about issues under a starry sky.
Whether attending a rally convention, conference, festival or workshop, connections made at these events can often last a lifetime. As such, it is not the length of the event which matters but rather the connections made with others while in attendance. For, when working with others of like-mind and interests, women are often more successful when it comes overcoming a number of issues.
