Introduction

Tools for activist training and strategy development, including campaign strategy, power, conflict, narrative and storytelling. Follow the links to find materials to put together your own training workshops and planning sessions.

Learning, reflecting on action and preparing for the future are key elements in any social change project.

These guides share tools and activities which have been developed by many different trainers and strategists. Thank you to everyone who has made their work available for others to learn from. If you use materials please acknowledge the source and respect any licenses that apply.

Remember to modify activities and session plans to fit your context, including:

the time you have available
the space you are meeting in, including whether it is in person or online
the purpose of your training or planning
the access needs and skill levels of your participants
stories and case studies that are relatable to your audience or your own experience
your style and comfort level as a trainer or facilitator

The Commons will continue to gather training materials to support social change trainers and facilitators. If you have resources to add please contact us.
