Become a local organizer

Bring an AGORA leadership retreat to your country

AGORA retreats bring together the leaders of the farmed animal movement in one country for two or three days of honest conversation, reflection and connection. We're looking for local organizers who can make that happen in their country.

Who it's for: Leaders and key activists of the movement at national level, in one country: the people who shape its direction.
Size: 10–20 people
Language: Ideally the local language, so everyone can speak freely
Format: 2–3 days with overnight stays, facilitated

AGORA provides funding for the retreat costs, a step-by-step planning platform, templates and support.
You provide local knowledge, a strong network and the energy to bring the right people together.

Not one country's movement leaders? Apply for another gathering.

Organize a gathering

Bring people together for farmed animals

Who it's for: Not limited to one country's movement: international, regional or across movements and sectors.
Size: From 10 people upwards
Topic: Can be very specific – e.g. social media specialists, movement builders, campaigners, researchers, chefs and farmers, policy makers, journalists
Format: Yours: one day or several, in person or online

AGORA provides funding, a planning platform with program, guest list, budget and an attendee portal, and support.
You provide the idea, the right people and the energy to make it happen.
