Organising for Power: The Core Fundamentals

Do you want to build your skills to support your campaigning for health justice?

Medact will be joining the Organising for Power (O4P) Training Sessions to learn, practice and reflect together on core skills to bring into our campaigning for health justice.

Organising for Power: The Core Fundamentals is organised by lead trainer Jane McAlevey and hosted by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.

Jane McAlevey has spent years organising in health settings across the UK and Europe – this training exists to support groups to develop core skills to strengthen their campaigns. We will be joining these sessions as Medact to collectively explore approaches to organising in the workplace and communities, how to bring people in and build power for health justice. We will practice the core skills and reflect on how we can bring these practices into our campaigns.

You can sign up below to participate with Medact for the O4P training — please register your interest by Friday 22nd April.

Logistics

The 6-week course is due to take place every Tuesday from 5 – 7pm BST between the 10th May and 14th June.

We will hold an additional session at the end of the course to reflect as Medact on the training.

We appreciate that starting at 5pm may be difficult for people to join and we would like to support as many people as possible to access and engage in the training — so are considering running an alternative later timeslot of 7 – 9pm on Wednesday. Please indicate which timings would work for you on the registration form.

For the training, it is important as far as possible to have a consistent group of people, so please only register if you would be able to make the majority of sessions.
