How to influence decision-makers and change the world

Advocacy means speaking out on behalf of someone’s rights or best interests, especially if they are disadvantaged.

It is a communication-driven form of change-making, which can be applied to diverse human rights, social justice, legal reform, equity and environmental causes.

Unlike self-advocacy or individual advocacy, systemic advocacy is about wider societal change. How we improve the system to make things better for everyone. It is about long-term, far-reaching change which rewrites the rules.

This course provides foundation knowledge for effective systemic advocacy and explores a range of the most powerful tactics for your campaign.

Topics include:

Purpose-driven systemic advocacy
Strategic campaign planning
Influencing decision-makers
Linking individual experience and wider change
Case studies of effective campaigns

Persuasive communication
