Whether they see it as an opportunity for wider connection or a need due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, movement groups are meeting online more than ever before. We believe online spaces are an incredible tool that can facilitate powerful connections across geography and make our meetings and gatherings more accessible. But we also know the culture of online work can often feel robotic, exhausting, and clunky without effective tools for facilitation and participation.
Drawing from PeoplesHub’s years of learning and experimentation with building popular education spaces online (since before the pandemic!), we will share a philosophy and tools to bring popular education methodology online. We’ll dispel common myths about what is and isn’t possible online. Together we will explore how to create interactive online spaces, meetings, and trainings that are effective, impactful, relational, and restorative – that can leave participants feeling supported instead of drained or fatigued.
This training is ideal for:
- Anyone who is adjusting to working and gathering online and finding they desire to strengthen the depth of their connections.
- Anyone new to online work who feels overwhelmed by the barriers or uncertain of what’s possible.
- Those who are already working online and want to bring the participatory/popular education element to help them move past webinar-type or less participatory spaces
Training Outcomes
Participants will leave with:
- Tools for making your own online meetings and gatherings more impactful, accessible, and restorative.
- A greater understanding of the possibilities and opportunities of online spaces.
- Practices for grounding our work in restoration and resiliency, and how to bring these practices online.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
