Action for Change through Community Organising
During the course you will explore how we can make change for good through collective action. Look at the different types of action you can take, from DIY action to campaigning, explore stories of action and success factors and learn how to develop a strategy for change based on listening, building people power and leadership, and picking tactics and methods for action.
This course will be run online, with the content split over two sessions:
- Part 1- Wednesday 14th August from 9.30am to 1pm
- Part 2 – Wednesday 21st August from 9.30am to 1pm
On this course we get to the heart of the action – what can we do together to create change in our neighbourhoods and communities? How do we know what is the right action to take? How do we mobilise our network of people? How do we work together to lead change?
Share and learn from stories of action: campaigning, community enterprise, takeover of assets, community events, holding politicians to account.
Learn about calling people to action through stories and how community organising enables people to lead and support action which makes them feel powerful together.
You will explore:
- what motivates people to take action in their community
