Connections: The WOCN Training Without Walls
I n a digital age characterized by connectivity and rapid information exchange, the Wisconsin Women of Color Network (WOCN) has spearheaded an ini- tiative known as Training Without Walls. This pio- neering program revolves around a series of national teleconferences and webinars that focus on emerg- ing and specialized topics and issues relevant to ad- vocates working within communities of color. The primary objective of Training Without Walls is to break down barriers to access by delivering critical information directly to advocates, eliminating the need for travel and ensuring that essential training resources are readily available to a diverse audience. These virtual sessions, hosted periodically, offer curriculum-based training, technical assistance on specific topics, and facilitated discussions that delve into new developments, movement-building strate- gies, and address pressing concerns within the advo- cacy landscape. Training Without Walls signifies a departure from traditional training paradigms by leveraging digital platforms to create a dynamic, inclusive, and accessi- ble learning environment for advocates nationwide. By harnessing the power of teleconferences and we- binars, WOCN empowers advocates to engage with
cutting-edge content, connect with expert facilitators, and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds. Through interactive sessions that encourage active participation, feedback, and dialogue, Training Without Walls fosters an environment where advo- cates can expand their knowledge, enhance their skills, and explore innovative ap- proaches to addressing complex challenges within their communities. The teleconferences and webinars offered through Training Without Walls serve as conduits for knowledge exchange, peer learning, and professional development among advocates committed to advancing the rights of communities of color. These virtual sessions provide a platform for ad- vocates to delve into specialized topics, gain insights into emerging issues, and acquire practical skills that are essential for effective advocacy work. By offering a mix of pre-re- corded webinars and live teleconferences, WOCN ensures that advocates have access to a diverse array of training resources that cater to their unique needs and preferences.
