Community Organising is the work of bringing people together to take action around their common concerns and overcome social injustice.   Community organisers reach out and listen, connect and motivate people to build their collective power.
Our one day training course introduces you to the core foundations of community organising – genuine, effective listening which sparks dialogue and explores motivations, an analysis of power in community and how to build it, and an exploration of how to organise and motivate people to take effective action together to address common concerns.
