‘What would effective online organising look like?’
Online tools offer climate change activists and groups important strategic opportunities to build the movement. Websites, egroups, blogs, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and other applications are being used extensively by community organisers… But how well? How can online tools be harnessed most effectively to recruit, engage, energise, strategise and sustain grassroots climate change activism?
In June, the Change Agency and Friends of the Earth launched an action research project that has included an online questionnaire completed by 200 climate change community organisers, interviews and a desk study of effective online organising.
Come along to hear what we’ve learnt through this project so far. Join us for a discussion to:
- develop and share a critical overview of communication tools and platforms
- share climate change organising lessons and insights
- learn to organise more effectively online
- hear about Friends of the Earth’s climate campaign
- bridge the gaps between grassroots and NGO activists, between environmentalists and other citizens concerned about climate change, and between the rebels, reformers, citizens and change agents in this powerful and growing people's movement.

With the support of the Reichstein Foundation and the Electronic Community Networking Association.
