Workshop Application for 2021

Workshop applications are currently being accepted to present a workshop for Annual Sessions 2021. The virtual workshop series will take place during the ‘Runway to Annual Sessions’ which begins May 1 and runs through June 30, the weeks leading up to Annual Sessions (July 27 – August 1, 2021). After the workshop application process is complete, a sign-up will go out to approved facilitators with specific time/date slots so you may choose when to hold your workshop during these weeks.  

We will close the application process on March 15, 2021 and applicants will be notified during the week of March 22 if their workshop was approved by the committee. Workshop slots are very popular; this year, we will accept just one application per organization or group, so as to be fair to Friends everywhere.

Workshop content and materials must weave our Sessions theme into the work: ‘Uproot Injustice, Root Justice’. 

Please email Olivia Brangan obrangan@pym.org with any questions or concerns about the Annual Sessions Workshop series.
