Helping organize, create and eventually participating in the CANVAS Summer Academy was the most meaningful part of my experience with CANVAS, an organization focused on promoting and teaching non-violence globally. The Academy consisted of four online and interactive webinars, with activists from all over the world and with CANVAS’ experts. For this blog post, I will focus on two. The topics were varied and relevant; session one reviewed the social movements from 2019 and their current situation in 2020; and session two explained the challenges and opportunities of activism during this pandemic.
