Songs and Strikes

A key part of our mission is the development, promotion and utilisation of our culture across the movement. We are committed to safeguarding working class culture as a key part of our identity. That is why new to the 2025-2026 programme, we have developed the Creative Activism series, linking together our culture and activism.

Each session provides an opportunity to engage directly in creative activism and produce a piece of art with meaning, whilst learning new skills and approaches.

All materials are covered in the cost of the course and no prior experience is necessary.

These courses are half days delivered across venues in the UK with expert tutors and organisations.

Songs and Strikes will be delivered by Ben Lunn.'
