facilitate workshops

We facilitate processes that encourage dialogue, analysis and provoke a rethink on the dominant power relations and explore rights, gender, participation and communication to challenge the "culture of silence".

We carry out learning needs assessments (LNAs), design and develop modules and handbooks, facilitate workshops, provide handholding support and document learning processes.

Our workshops bring together participants from diverse backgrounds.

Our past workshops have been attended by community volunteers, development workers from non-profits, donor agencies & government departments; activists from campaigns & movements; theatre and media practitioners; students and faculty members, children and young people, farmers and workers

We invite you to an exciting, engaging and enriching learning journey!

If you would like to host or participate in any of our workshops, please email workshops at vikalpkriya dot in
