Overview
HAL’s Translocal Learning Studio (TLS) is a virtual studio for developing and expanding accountable, transformative, and community-centered learning practices that activate history and memory for justice-centered movements and mutual aid in the current moment. This studio is “translocal,” a core tenet of HAL that honors the unique circumstances, autonomy, and tools of hyperlocal organizing and supports building reciprocal learning relationships between these localities across the world.
