During this introductory workshop, participants will learn the concepts and frameworks of Movement Ecology, which is a framework to understand and analyze the 5 distinct strategies that arise when attempting to make social change.

While many of us have tried to create the conditions for social movements where there is collaboration across groups and organizations, we believe that collaboration can only happen when we are clear on the differences between the strategies that live in them. This means that we can only have ecological thinking/action in social change if we know what makes the parts of the movement different in relation to one another. 

We call these multiple strategies Foundational Theories of Change and we believe that the key to power that many of us are working hard to harness is found in their collaboration. 

Some of the common questions that come up when we’ve previously shared the framework and will be explored during this workshop are:

• Which Theory of Change do I spend most of my time working in?
• What is the role of each Theory of Change within the context of the larger movement?
• How can we relate and support other Foundational Theories of Change?
• How can we build a culture of interdependence and embrace multi-strategic movements?

The workshop will be held on Thursday, October 6th, from 3 PM to 5 PM Eastern Standard Time. This event is totally FREE OF CHARGE. We hope you can join us for the free 2 hour workshop!We hope you can join us for the free 2 hour workshop!
