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.
