organizing Training

What moves you? Cleaner air, equality in the workplace, or better education? These are just a few examples of the changes you might want to see. But how do you take action? How do you create real change? At Milieudefensie, we believe in the power of people. Your power!

What is organizing?
With the organizing method, we bring as many people together as possible to create change. In Dutch, we call organizing “bewegingsopbouw” (movement building). A movement consists of people and organizations that take action for the same bigger goal.

With this training, we want to show you that you can organize yourself and achieve a lot by doing so. Will you join us?

After the training, you will:

1. 1. Know what organizing is
   2. Understand the difference between mobilising and organizing
   3. Understand the difference between Big Organizing and Community Organizing
   4. Know the five basic principles of organizing by Marshall Ganz
   5. Have insight into the power of storytelling and know the theory of the “story of self, us, now”
   6. Understand the importance of building relationships
   7. Have insight into the role of leadership in organizing and know the snowflake model
   8. Know the ally spectrum (supporter ladder)
   9. Understand the role that action plays within organizing
