The Movement Building Canvas: build your movement to change the world
Event Information
Description
**The Movement Building Canvas Master Class for Organisations and Institutions**
If you’re engaging with existing social movements, or aspiring to spark a social movement from within your organisation, you’ll recognise the challenges of mobilising and organising individuals and organisations to create, speak and act together. You'll also understand the impact you can have when you think big about social change.
The Movement Building Canvas is a practical framework to help you design your movement for maximum impact. Tested with NGOs, voluntary organisations and start-ups, it can be used at any time to explore movement building ideas and develop practical plans.
This is an introductory session to the Canvas for organisations and institutions to enable you to take it away and use it by yourself, with your team, organisation and stakeholder groups.
You will:
- understand how to explore founding principles of movements - the purpose, experiences and values that movement members share;
- know how to plot out what happens once people join movements - how they will engage, what kind of actions they will take and how they will get the recognition they deserve;
- be ready to explore how to organise, communicate and connect with movements, and identify the infrastructure and resources that movements need to get going and stay moving;
- leave with your own, personal Canvas to continue developing.
The session will give you a opportunity to share experiences and test out ideas with other movement builders in a supportive environment.
The session will be facilitated by the creators of the Movement Building Canvas, Esther Foreman and Carol Beaumont, who have over 30 years experience between them, building and leading movements for change across a range of organisations and causes.
