Feedback from Attendees of my Direct Action Workshop

Ok, so this may be a little vain, but I’m awfully proud and happy to have been of help to so many great people who attended the COW student conference on April 12th. Click here to find the feedback stats which show my workshop on direct action, named for this blog, which by far got the best feedback of any workshop at the conference (and it was so much fun!). If reading this makes you want to have me come and do the workshop in your locality, or if you want to do the workshop yourself, please drop me a line via the “Announcement Listserv/Feedback” page, which can be found on the right-hand side bar of this page. We’ll work something out!

Yay for participatory time–for a Banner Drop! It was great to be hands-on and learn through an activity that was fun & also useful.

This kid Matt seemed like he could easily take on a two hour workshop. He was full of information and got everyone involved. This was the best workshop I attended.

Stick to schedule a bit more.

Definitely my favorite of the day. Matt was incredibly knowledgeable and he showed us a lot of interesting information and videos. I could tell he could have gone on talking for hours and hours about this stuff, and he kept referencing things and saying “write that down” or “look that up” – which I did, and I’m glad I did. I especially loved that instead of just talking about doing something, we actually did get up as a group and did a banner drop.

Lots of content on the history of direct action and why we need direct action. Could do a better role play and more if there where my time
