Building Solidarity in Polarizing Times  

 8:30am – 4:30pm, November 26 and 27, 2026

Victoria, BC

Building Solidarity in Polarizing Times is a CLC workshop that provides opportunities for participants to develop “solidarity skills” aimed at assessing, initiating and continuing conversations to address difficult topics. It focuses on having conversations about divisive topics, and will give union activists, leaders and staff new tools for finding ways to navigate through conflict, bridge the divide and move forward together.

Course objectives:

  • Review the basic skills for navigating tough and frustrating conversations with members that disagree with us, or who are being influenced by misinformation.

  • Focus on and provide practice space for navigating these conversations.

The expression of interest form is now closed.

We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples and the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations on whose traditional territory we work.
