Our Movement Ecology offerings will support you in understanding the many different strategies that arise when we are faced with creating social change. We call these multiple strategies Foundational Theories of Change and we believe that the key to power that many of us are working hard to harness is found in their collaboration.

Before beginning the first Module, you will watch a 30-minute video introduction to the Foundational Theories of Change. This will prepare you to focus on deepening your understanding of them during our time together.

During the first Module we will:

  • Answer any questions you had from the 30-minute video
  • Identify which Foundational Theory of Change you’re most familiar with
  • Dive into your and others’ journeys in social change

We want to give participants more opportunities to access the teachings, so we are offering the following Module 1 calendar:

Other Time Zones

  • 6pm EST = 3pm Pacific & 11pm UK, next day 9am Sydney
  • 1pm EST = 10am Pacific & 6pm UK, next day 4am Sydney
  • 8pm EST = 5pm Pacific, next day 1am UK, next day 11am Sydney

In each module, participants will join other leaders from different social movements, take time to reflect on the content and do practical exercises to use the materials in their current organizational context.

More Information

If you want to attend all 3 Modules, we are excited to offer you this option! You can refer to the calendar below to see which cohort to join. 

When enrolling into this series, you are agreeing to abide by Ayni School’s Student Guidelines below. 

  • Be respectful – Because of the online nature of the school, we might not know each other, where we are coming from, have different perspectives, backgrounds, beliefs, etc. Because of this, it can be really easy to misinterpret each other. We ask that participants be respectful of each other (and of the trainers) and the experiences that we each have.
  • Be present – Please turn on your camera as much as possible to improve the interactive nature of the training. It makes a big difference in the dynamic of the school if we are able to see each other and our reactions.
  • Support the School- We hold the expectation that you are not sharing links (or materials) to the modules with others who have not registered for the Semester and are abiding honestly by our pricing tiers to the best of your ability.
  • Recordings of the session will not be made available to participants. If you cannot attend a session, we recommend you attend it at another date and time. Supplemental material and slides will be provided and if you would like to experience a module again, you can always repeat before the Semester is over.
  • Honor our time together – There will be breaks that are scheduled during the length of a module, please wait for them as best you can. We also ask that you mute your microphone on Zoom while you are not talking and to write any pressing questions on the chat of the Zoom room so as to not interrupt the trainers.

At the Ayni Institute we are committed to providing high quality trainings that are accessible and support social change leaders, organizations, and movements dedicated to building a more reciprocal world.

We have been inspired by the many models of pricing by scale and gift economies. Please take a few minutes to assess the right tier that you belong to according to our system. 

There are two types of tiers. To determine which of the two tiers to look at, please decide: are you paying out of pocket or are you being sponsored by an organization?
