This community organising workshop will develop your understanding of how to work in communities, bringing people together on a local basis to achieve a common goal.
Community organising is an incredibly powerful way of making sure that you can achieve change at a local level. It combines effective leadership with empowering and building lasting communities of change. Communities that are then self-led. To be a community organiser, you have to learn to let go of and share your power.
Three things you will do in this workshop:
- Understand the principles of community organising and how to apply them in practise
- Look at the tools others have used successfully to achieve change
- Hear about best practice and lessons from experienced community organisers

If you are unable to participate for any reason or in a specific manner (e.g. speaking, camera on, chat function, breakout rooms, etc.), please put that in the “Accessibility Requirements” section during checkout, and remind your facilitator at the beginning of the session.
