Government campaigns and political campaigns alike often treat the public as ‘cannon fodder’ – people to take simple actions, write letters, or turn out as required. More effective ways of organising start with people’s actual concerns – their views, their values and their needs. In this practical workshop we will explore how we can work effectively alongside groups, to engage, empower and ensure their voices are heard by decision makers. Shilpa Shah founded CCF’s Akashi project and currently works for FOE’s Rights and Justice team.
