Wilderness Society Community Organising Training

All set to go for my Wilderness Community Organising Training weekend.

Hey this place looks familiar. It's the May Drive Parkland we visited on Thursday.

We traveled along the Freeway passing the Geraldton Wax and Lantana, passed Parliament House with its Coral Trees to arrive at Kings Park. We strolled along the well maintained Kikuyu grass to observe the Spider Net Grevillea. The pond area has a prehistoric theme referencing; Calamites, Thromboloites, Stromalites, Cyan Bacteria and mucas.

(oh well, back to community organising training)

During the two days we covered many components of what it means to be an Organiser:

Community organising and movement building

Relational one-on-ones

Making an effective ask

'Organising Gatherings' as an effective movement building tactic

Using personal narrative

Developing a strategic organising campaign
