Everyone wants to make change, whether it is to reduce loneliness, end racism, save the planet, get the landlord to do essential repairs, or simply get a crossing installed on a busy street. Yet too often we put action before strategy. We use familiar tactics: starting a petition, writing to an MP, lobbying, striking or marching, without first analysing why the problem came into existence, why those with the power to change it choose not to, and how we can make those with power say 'yes' when they would rather say 'no.'
Whether you are writing a funding bid for a charity, organising a trade union, rebelling against oppression, or planning to save the planet, you need a theory of change: what is it that we need to make happen to effect the change we want to see?
This free, 90 minute unit is an introduction to a number of tools that will help you plan strategically to win the change you want, rather than simply protest against an injustice.
This unit is now full, please do sign up for the next session on Tuesday 4 August:
