Systemic Advocacy

How to influence decision-makers and change the world

Advocacy means speaking out on behalf of someone’s rights or best interests and systemic advocacy is about how we improve the system to make things better for everyone, rather than just an individual. This course provides foundation knowledge for effective systemic advocacy.

Advocacy means speaking out on behalf of someone’s rights or best interests, especially if they are disadvantaged.

It is a communication-driven form of change-making, which can be applied to diverse human rights, social justice, legal reform, equity and environmental causes.

Unlike self-advocacy or individual advocacy, systemic advocacy is about wider societal change. How we improve the system to make things better for everyone. It is about long-term, far-reaching change which rewrites the rules.

This course provides foundation knowledge for effective systemic advocacy and explores a range of the most powerful tactics for your campaign.

  • Purpose-driven systemic advocacy
  • Strategic campaign planning
  • Influencing decision-makers
  • Linking individual experience and wider change
