Making our action count

This training shares key tools and helps build skills for developing effective and responsive strategies. Using a hands-on and applied-experiential learning method, participants will learn to analyse contexts, create vision, identify opportunities and challenges, and develop responsive plans to move towards their objectives. At this crucial time for our social movements, the need for focused, well-crafted, and well-informed strategies couldn’t be more important.

The training will follow the structure of a ā€˜strategy arc’, covering the tools and skills to carry us from clarifying purpose to realising our goals. We’ll explore methods that enable us to develop clear pathways for action, building the capacity and power needed to follow them, and the responsiveness to keep learning and adapting as we go.

ā€œWhat can we do now in order to be able to do tomorrow what we are unable to do today?ā€ (Paulo Freire)

The structure will enable us to explore cutting edge approaches to:

  • Creating vision and clarifying purpose
  • Analysing the context and issues
  • Mapping power
  • Theories of change
  • Establishing critical pathways and objectives
  • Getting things done
  • Building feedback loops and responsiveness into our practice
  • Evaluating and learning from our actions.

A more detailed outline of content and structure will follow in the coming weeks.

Who is it aimed at?

Participants involved in activism and organising addressing ecological, political and social justice issues – who want to make their actions and energy count.

Sergio

Germany

Location:

Germany

Sergio (all pronouns) was born in Romania and migrated to Germany in the early 2010s. In the past, he was a social worker with homeless people and a social consultant for Eastern European migrants for various organisations. Trained as a filmmaker, he spent two years making a documentary about the ā€˜civic reawakening’ in Romania and the waves of protest it brought with it. In connection to this, Sergio is currently co-steering the development of an online open-source participative knowledge production platform on activism in Romania. Over the past nine years, Sergiu has offered his skills to various journalists, grassroots collectives and campaigns, mostly working within the labour rights, climate justice, international solidarity and anti-authoritarian movements in Germany and Romania. Nonetheless, his biggest focus since 2020 has been his work as an organiser with the anarcho-syndicalist Free Workers Union, where he focuses mostly on organising Romanian migrant workers on construction sites, in factories and in the agricultural field.
