The World Transformed

24/09/2026

On this day in 2016, the very first The World Transformed festival began in Liverpool.

A huge amount has changed in ten years - but TWT is still here. Across the past decade, we’ve welcome tens of thousands of people from across Britain and beyond to our festivals of radical political education and culture.

We’ll be celebrating 10 years of TWT in London on 28th November, with tickets dropping very soon. We’re also developing a zine and exhibition for this special event, and we need your help! Share your favourite TWT artefacts and memories at the link in our bio.

This year marks ten years since the very first The World Transformed festival happened in Liverpool.

We’re marking this milestone with a special one-day event in London on Saturday 28th November, to reflect on what our movement has learned from the last decade and to look ahead to the next ten years of struggle.

During the day we’ll hold a participatory assembly, to create a space for our movement to build on the pressing strategic discussions that took place at TWT25 - questions that remain unanswered.

Then in the evening we will host a big party to mark 10 years of TWT featuring an exhibition, food & drink, music and some special guests.

Tickets will be launching soon - so save the date and watch this space.

REPORT: TWT Leadership School 2026 🚩📚

Last month, our first ever Leadership School took place at the beautiful Ingestre Hall! We welcomed an incredible cohort of 32 participants and 10 volunteer facilitators and trainers for 6 days packed with intensive political education, skills training and - of course - collective joy.

We covered a range of topics - from the fundamentals of Marxist theory and the nature of comradeship, to building resilient organisations and doing strategic conjunctural analysis.

The cohort included folks from Bread & Roses, Unite the union (Ford Halewood branch), IWGB, Greens Organise, Bristol Transformed, Living Rent, London Renters Union, STAT, INQUEST, GMTU, Workers for a Free Palestine, Green New Deal Rising, Sheffield Tenants’ Union, RS21, PYM.

This was a real experiment, so we are thrilled that it’s received such positive feedback. One participant said: “This was, genuinely, the best educational experience I’ve ever had. I left feeling reinvigorated, situated within historical struggle as well as a part of a present day network, armed with political and cultural knowledge, optimistic and ready to apply it to my own organisational context.”

So how did we do this? We delivered it with 100% volunteer labour from a small, very committed group. TWT subsidised most of the places, several of them for the full cost, because we prioritised bringing together participants that we thought would benefit most, regardless of whether they came from well funded organisations.

Looking ahead, we’ll be working on making this project financially sustainable, so that we can run it at last once a year and reach even more organisations and campaign groups.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped make this first edition a reality, and of course to everyone who took part - we had a blast, and we can’t wait to do it again. ✊

🚩 An update on TWT in 2026 and beyond 🚩

Following on from our sold-out festival in Manchester last Autumn, we’ve been busy making plans for what comes next.

This year we will host our first ever residential summer school, followed by a big one-day event in autumn to mark 10 years of TWT.

Then our next multi-day festival will be in Spring 2027, and it’s up to the movement to decide where it will be held…

📰 TWT25 ASSEMBLIES: All proposals, bulletins and minutes now online!

At this year’s festival we hosted three assemblies where our movement discussed and debated the future of left strategy.

We learned there is mass support for a democratic, movementist party - but as the urgency of the assemblies made clear again and again: we cannot wait for our leaders to save us, we need organisation and action now.

Whether you joined us in Manchester or not, you can now access every proposal submitted by the movement, alongside each daily bulletin and full minutes from each assembly on our website! Check it out via the link in our bio 🔗

“We cannot shrink from the challenges ahead, but rise to meet them, together. To confront them, it is clear, we must get organised.” 🚩

TWT is back, with a new approach to galvanise the British left. Join us to shake off nostalgia, get organised and rise to meet growing threats
