TripodTripod: Training for Creative Social Action
TripodWe work with grassroots collectives, campaigning organisations, co-operatives, community groups and charities.
Get the skills you need through our open public workshops or a private training tailored to your group’s needs. Our skilled trainers deliver sessions covering a range of topics including:
Review and develop the organisational systems, structures and processes that can help your group meet its purpose in alignment with your values and capacity.
Whether you want to develop a peer-to-peer learning programme, review how your organisation’s values are embedded in practice or transform your group’s culture, we can coach you to realise your ideas.
Let us take care of the process and support you to make more strategic and sustainable decisions, hone your vision and values, or develop winning campaign strategies.
Conflict is an inevitable part of working in relationship with others and often involves strong emotions. We can support your group to engage with conflict proactively, and create the possibility for growth and change. Navigating through conflict can lead to better relationships, more inclusive and creative decision making, and less oppressive spaces.
Want to bring Tripod to work with your organisation or group?
We are now booking work that begins in January 2026.
Interested in applying to work with Tripod, but want to learn more? Is Tripod a good fit for my group/organisation?
We may be a good fit for you if…
• Racial justice and anti-oppression work is central to your values and vision.
• You have a willingness to examine and work on cultures, behaviours, and governance away from the charity industrial complex and towards liberation. We work with organisations who are not seeking a “EDI” effort just to check the “equity box”. You want to trace problems to the root, and your organisation is committed to anti-oppression work for the long-haul.
• You are committed to long-term change and are interested in building an ongoing collaborative relationship with Tripod that may include consulting, coaching, facilitation, trainings and attention to topics as they arise in the work.
Tripod trainers and facilitators are now open to requests for support. Get in touch to see if we can support your group, or put you in touch with someone who can.
