National and regional conferences are sometimes easier to attend than a week-long camp. Although not as in-depth as an action camp, conferences are a great way to get training in campaign strategy, grassroots organizing, ‘Teaching Tibet,’ fundraising, media and more – skills that will make a big difference to the impact you can have for Tibet in your own community.
Conferences are also valuable as a way to meet fellow SFTers. It gives you a chance to share problems and successes you’ve had and to make contacts that will help you do better work for Tibet.
SFT aims to hold a conference in each region of the US once a year. Conferences and other trainings also happen regularly in Europe and Canada, and we hope to soon see conferences elsewhere around the world as well.
