Capitalism, health and social crisis

Summary

How does change happen? How do we think change happens? How do we think that this particular change will happen? What do we need to do to make that change happen? In this strategy workshop the participants will explore what their underlying assumptions about activism are and whether their activities have been in accordance with their assumptions.

Description

In this workshop we will discuss different theories of change that organisations have regarding different issues and analyse the strategies and tactics they use to achieve their goals. Then we will talk about conflict escalation, a tool that various "momentum-driven" movements have used in recent years.
