ADVOCACY IN ACTION: TOOLS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE presented by the Community Advocacy Unit FREE PLACES for Workshop #2 COMMUNITY ADVOCACY: CAUSE AND EFFECT Saturday 12 May, 9.30am - 4.30pm Building 22, Corner Swanston and Latrobe Streets, RMIT City Campus This workshop will examine four Australian activism case studies, to draw out lessons about what kinds of advocacy strategies work, and why. Case studies include the Melbourne S11 Anti-Corporate Globalisation Protest, the Refugee and Asylum Seeker Movement, Reconciliation, and One Nation / The New Right. Each of the case study presenters will address five key questions: * what are / were the campaign objectives? * what has the campaign achieved? * how? * what has the campaign failed to achieve? * why? Each case study will be preceded by a short introduction from the Chair, including his observations on how each issue has been represented by the mainstream media and how this representation may have impacted upon community attitudes. Open discussion will follow each case study, during which participants will have the opportunity to ask further questions of each of the presenters. LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE - BOOK NOW!
