Welcome to Power Shift 2020!

We are really excited to be running Power Shift online this year.

This ticket will automatically register you for Thread 1 - Building or Rebuilding A Strong Group.

The first and most on-going step of organising is building your core group. If you're new to organising, and wondering how to begin, the workshops in this thread will help you build a strong base for a powerful campaign. If you have quite a lot of experience, but your group is struggling with capacity, burn-out or effective collaboration, these are vital tools to help you rebuild.

You will notice that some events are marked 'CORE'. These events provide the basis of knowledge for the rest of Power Shift so we would ask you to attend them at the very minimum.

As well as workshop time, we have also arranged a number of social evenings. You are welcome to attend as many as you would like, in order to meet other Power Shift participants in an informal setting.

Individual Eventbrite tickets are required for People and Planet Campaigns Workshops Sweat Shop Free (10th July), Undoing Borders (14th July) and Climate Change (17th July) and What now for the Climate Change Campaign? (18th July). You can find links to these on the People and Planet website.

Please note that all events are free but if you would like to give us a donation to cover the costs of Power Shift 2020, we would be very grateful.

After you register you will receive a confirmatory email that these are the workshops you will be able to register for. Zoom links for each event will be sent nearer the time.
