Staff working for not-for-profits or Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in the West Pilbara are invited to register their attendance for the online training on 2nd and 3rd September - 9am to 12.30pm each day.

About the training:

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

• Linking individual experience and wider change

• Case studies of effective campaigns

• Collaborating for success

• Selecting tools and tactics

• Escalating pressure

• Persuasive communication
