The golden rule for change activists is: ‘You can’t be a rebel on your own’ and will be presented by Kathryn Perera. This module gives us an understanding of the power of working together by exploring communities of practice and social movements. We identify techniques for connecting with our own and others’ values and emotions to create a call for action.

Models for Action
Advocacy Act on behalf of others
Mobilising Means to articulate voice
Organising develops the capacity of people to act on
their own behalf, developing their voice in
relationship with others

22. @Sch4Change #S4CA
“People who have ideas and drive are on every street, in every
project, every workplace and school, waiting in the wings, ready to
be discovered. Someone has to reach them and recognize them.
Someone has to ask them to step out, not to be consumers or
props or spectators but to be players in the unfolding drama of
public life. And that someone is what we call a leader or organiser.”
Michael Gecan, Going PublicImage via www.corganisers.org.uk

• As a change agent, my centrality in the informal network
is more important than my position in the formal
hierarchy
• If you want to create small scale change, work through a
cohesive network
• If you want to create big change, create bridge networks
between disconnected groups
The Power of Networks

25. @Sch4Change #S4CA
• In your role: through relationships and social
networks
• Through virtual communities such as “We”
communities, Twitter and LinkedIn
• Through communities of practice and learning
groups
Who are your communities?

26. @Sch4Change #S4CA
“I do not think you can really deal with change
without a person asking real questions about
who they are and how they belong in the world.”

Stories are the emotional resource that helps us meet
uncertainty. Dive deep. Think intentionally about your stories.
Practise them. Turn your experience into a resource that helps
you inspire, connect and organise with others.

Story of Self

Story of Self
“Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence
on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and
raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to
school in a tin- roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a
domestic servant to the British. But my grandfather had larger dreams for
his son…”

• Keep it simple
• Know the facts
(and how to use them)
• Who influences
whom?
The Smallest Things

37. @Sch4Change #S4CA
• Did we accomplish the goal we were trying to
accomplish?
• Did our community grow stronger? (create
capacity; new power – power we didn’t have
before)
• Did individuals involve in the whole effort
learn, grow and develop their capacity to
organise with others?
What is success?
