This session offers the big picture of EO and why we need to organize. This session will highlight several success stories in the environmental movement. You will learn the importance of storytelling when transitioning to people power organizations.
You will learn about EO elements and link the mission and vision of your organization to engagement organizing methodology. We will cover how to develop effective Theory of Change and engagement pyramids. The basic elements of engagement pyramids and paths such as recruitment, mobilization and distributed leadership that allow your organization to meaningfully engage people, gain more power that eventually leads to change will be introduced.
In this session we will focus on the recruitment and mobilization levels of the pyramid and develop lists, strategies and paths associated within these levels of engagement.
You will dive into the distributed leadership potential within your organizations, particularly focused on volunteers. We will unpack the volunteers and leadership power base, volunteers’ stewardship and long-term engagement. We will also touch on the readiness for a culture shift and its barriers.
Participants will learn about how to use and track the power within their organization to influence decision-makers. Some of the topics include importance and strategies of tracking your supporters, how to handle and use data, databases, and the digital environment for change, how to integrate digital tools, and how to set milestones, metrics, and dashboards. In this session, participants will be able to tie everything together and see the connection between the EO methodology, people power and how they can advance their organization and their cause through EO.
This session is for participants who are interested to share their engagement organizing plans with the rest of the class and to get feedback from the instructor and colleagues.
