This is workshop 4 in the Community Organising Course. 

To create change takes action. We will need to use the people power we have built to make action successful. We will need our leaders to encourage and call on their members to stand up for what they believe in. We will need our community to come together and to take some risks.

Actions may be small, or they may be really ambitious. We might start to clean up our street together. We might hold our politicians to account for a decision they made. We might use our rights to take control of a building for our community. We might mobilise our strength in numbers to end an unjust business practice. We might take over a service from the council because we know we can run it better ourselves. Whatever we do we will learn from what happened – success or failure – and do better next time.
Like all of our training, it is both active and thought-provoking. It is designed so that everybody can take part and share their ideas and experiences. Many different people have taken part in the Introduction to Community Organising course, from members of the community, people who work in community organisations as well as individuals from local government and statutory services.

*As this training is highly interactive and requires a minimum of 9 participants for certification this means the dates may be subject to change
