Systemic Advocacy

How to change the world

Course Duration: ONE DAY

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.

Content covered includes:

Purpose-driven systemic advocacy
Strategic campaign planning
Links between individual experience and wider change
Case studies of effective campaigns
Collaborating for success
Selecting tools and tactics
Escalating pressure
Persuasive communication
