EA47

Campaigning

Looking at some international and British

examples this course is suitable for all trade

unionists whether working full time or not

and whether local or national. It seeks to

share practice across the unions and look

at some really successful work. It seeks

to unpack and revise some established

concepts around campaigning and what is

and what isn’t effective.

EA48

What is Community?

Community work and development have

long histories in Britain and lots of different

theories and underpinning ideas. Drawing

on these traditions community leaders and

professionals will demonstrate how a better

understanding of the word community

can greatly benefit union’s in their wider

campaigning and public relations.

EA49

Persuading People,

the Psychology

of Change

Why should members and the public

support our demands and our work and

our campaigns? Perhaps unions have given

insufficient attention to the real dynamics

and influence of psychology on people.

This course to be held at Northern College

near Barnsley will examine the issues and

shed new light on ways of campaigning

and organising.

Campaigning in a rush can

be scatter gun and the word

community can mean many

things. All unions campaign and

all unions want public support

for their concerns and close

community involvement.

These two schools seek to

introduce new concepts and

understanding into both subjects.
