The Ayni School is delighted to share that the Ayni Institute is partnering with TippingPoint Australia and The Sunrise Project to provide enrollment opportunities to 40 students in each of our transformative programs: Movement Ecology and Seasons of Leadership.
This collaboration represents a significant step towards empowering a total of 80 social change leaders. The Movement Ecology training explores the different strategies that arise when creating social change in social movements, while the Seasons of Leadership Training focuses on understanding the cyclical patterns that exist in our leadership and social movement organizations. Our US-based trainers will be pulling all nighters hosting these cohorts for our students (read below for the semester schedules).
Through this partnership, the Ayni Institute, TippingPoint Australia, and The Sunrise Project are dedicated to equipping these students with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration they need to become more effective change-makers. By combining our resources and expertise, we aim to create a powerful educational experience that empowers individuals and organizations to create a more just and sustainable world.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to TippingPoint Australia and The Sunrise Project for their collaboration and support in making this partnership possible. Together, we eagerly anticipate welcoming these 80 selected leaders as they embark on these educational journeys with us.
Schedules and Times:
Movement Ecology: October 3rd to 17th 2023 11AM – 1:30PM AEDT
Seasons of Leadership: October 19th to November 2nd 2023 11AM – 1:30PM AEDT
Our Movement Ecology offerings will support you in understanding the many different strategies that arise when we are faced with creating social change.
While many of us have tried to create the conditions for social movements where there is collaboration across groups and organizations, we believe that collaboration can only happen when we are clear on the differences between the strategies that live in them. This means that we can only have ecological thinking, or action in social change, if we know what makes the parts of the movement different in relation to one another.
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.
In each Module, participants will join other leaders and activists from different social movements, reflect on the concepts, and engage in practical exercises to use the frameworks in their individual work and current organizational context.
This Fall Semester, we are offering the following 3 Modules on Movement Ecology:
Please note: In order to attend Module 1, you must watch an introductory video on Movement Ecology, which we will provide when you enroll in the first Module.
If you want to attend more than 1 module, you must take them in order. In other words, Module 1 is required to attend Module 2, and Modules 1 and 2 are required to attend Module 3.
Attend all 3 Modules through a weekly Cohort experience. You will be attending each module alongside the same group of participants for the entire cohort.
Included with your enrollment will be a video lesson that you should watch before you attend your first live module session. This can be accessed through the Ayni School Platform using the login credentials you create at checkout.
After you enroll, someone from the Ayni School team will reach out to you with instructions on how to access the video lesson on our Ayni School platform and a registration form to let us know more about you, and if you are ordering an a la carte format which modules you can attend.
From there we will send you Zoom module links.
TippingPoint / Sunrise Project Perspective Enrollees: For leaders sponsored by Sunrise/TippingPoint, please refer to the instructions provided by them to learn the registration process.

Within our in person trainings, there are many concepts covered and Movement Ecology is one of them. This theory is usually covered in a few hours where participants receive a broad introductory understanding to the concept, including a small mapping exercise.
During the Fall Training Semester, we are expanding that short introduction into an in-depth experience (across 3 modules) where we cover some new frameworks, including:
