Guest Post: #AGORA16: After Young Feminist Summer School
Claire attended this year’sAGORA feminist school organised by the European Women’s Lobby. Her place was sponsored by Engender who offered funding for a young BME feminist from Scotland to attend. We are hosting a series of blogs by Claire throughout her time at AGORA. Here are her thoughts after completing the AGORA.
My intention for Young Feminist Summer School had three parts: 1) Learn about effectively bridging the gap between theory and activism. 2) Support other women in their learning and be part of collective growth. 3) A bonus objective – have fun and meet new people. AGORA ’16 brought me all of these things and more.
