Capacity building partnership with Ulex

Capacity building partnership with Ulex - application form
Ulex is building a strong network of social movements to enable a coherent response to today's interconnected social and environmental challenges. Our centre is a pan-European platform, where we co-create and deliver training programmes which ensure the responsive evolution of our groups, share skills, strengthen our connections, and support social movement impact and resilience to thrive and last the long haul.

To do this, we build partnerships with organisations and groups from across Europe, to shape and participate in our training activities.

We usually work with a partner for an initial period of 12-18 months and then review together the partnership and establish future directions. The partnership can include different elements, such as:
- Assessment of needs and analysis of the current challenges your group is facing in order to identify capacity building needs and goals for the partnership
- Supporting your group to send your members to attend our training courses
- Online and/or in person accompaniment for your group in implementing changes
- Bespoke courses designed and adapted to the needs of your group
- Shadowing opportunities for trainers and facilitators (currently only limited to BPOC/racialised organisers/activists)
Each year we review the wider context, discuss needs with partners and adapt and develop our training curriculum accordingly.

If you are interested in working with us and in enabling members of your group to benefit from and perhaps contribute to our training programme, please fill in the form below. It will help us discern if there is value alignment and what kind of partnership would be appropriate and possible with your group.

If written format is a challenge for you - feel free to reach out to

to arrange something else - videos, voice recordings or scheduling a meeting straight away could be some alternative options (we do prefer to have the form in advance to a meeting, but we can accommodate different needs and capacities).

Project with Ulex

We know that there is a general scarcity of resources available for social movements, so within our team we are doing our best to find the necessary resourcing for groups to be able to access capacity building opportunities. The section below is for us to understand your situation and have the information we need to make a plan for how to resource the potential partnership. We are not a funding organisation, but we have a lot of experience (and some capacity within our team) in supporting groups in accessing funding and finding resources. Your resourcing situation will not influence whether we want to support you with capacity building (that is assessed based on strategic alignment). It will just influence how we might imagine making that possible and what kind of resourcing we could explore finding together.
