In the current movement moment, we often need to call our people together to do rapid response, group study, strategy, and mobilization. We know that online meetings are a fast and accessible way to gather, but they don’t need to be chaotic or boring snoozefests. When people show up, be prepared to offer them a space that will build on the momentum that’s already there! This training will help you learn how to design for impactful, generative and energizing online meetings.
PeoplesHub trainers will share our methodology, which draws on years of learning and experimentation with building accessible, popular education spaces online. We’ll dispel common myths about what is and isn’t possible online through interactive practice.
This training is ideal for:
- Those looking for more skills to strengthen the depth of their online connections.
- Those who feel overwhelmed by the barriers of online events 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
- Community organizers who want to hold meetings online to be more inclusive to those observing COVID-19 precautions, folks without transportation, caregivers, etc.
Training Outcomes:
Participants will be able to...
- Identify barriers to positive online experiences and ways to overcome them
- Understand what makes online learning effective and engaging
- Apply practices for creating restorative and supportive online spaces
- Adapt popular in-person facilitation exercises for virtual settings
- Design online spaces for different event formats
- Incorporate basic accessibility considerations to make your spaces welcoming to participants

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.
Choose what to pay, starting at $40. The true cost of this workshop is $100/person.
