Milk Tea Education presents at Alternatives for Popular Protest Conference

 

Helen, June and Chris at the AFPP Conference June 2026


The Milk Tea Education team has been sharing about the project at various conferences and meetings this year. One highlight was presenting at the Alternatives for Popular Protest annual conference run by Movements@Manchester at the University of Manchester, UK. We were grateful for the warm welcome and interest in our work and hope it inspires others to do something similar.

We have now sent out the news to participants and we are getting ready for the first event: our first online seminar! This will be held in November 2025 (date TBC).
