Are you searching for effective ways to build power and drive change in your communities?
Look no further! Orientation to Organizing with a special focus on refugee and immigration justice is back by popular demand! Our first session in January was an incredible success, with over 118 attendees joining from 28 countries globally. Sign up for the repeat session on April 26th at 10AM – 1PM CET (3 – 6PM Indochina Time / 5 – 8PM Tokyo time)!
This 3-hour introductory session delves into the organizing and public narrative practices developed by Marshall Ganz at the Harvard Kennedy School and his associates. It’s one of our most sought-after sessions at LCN.
For the upcoming session, we’ve teamed up with George Gabriel to explore organizing for immigration justice. We’ll draw lessons from his work with Citizens UK in 2015, campaigning to welcome 20,000 Syrian refugees across the UK and discover how their campaign scaled at a moment of crisis.
Who should attend this session?
This session is ideal for individuals seeking effective ways to drive change in their communities. It offers a basic understanding of organizing and how it translates into practice.
We also encourage you to invite other members of your team, organization, and community to join you in this learning experience. Having a shared language of organizing and leadership can be powerful when working together!
Even if you’re familiar with organizing and narrative pedagogy but need a refresher on the framework’s basics, or are looking for case studies, you’ll find this session beneficial.
Finally, the timezone for this session is convenient for organizers and leaders based across Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.
What will you gain from this session?
In this session, you’ll:
- Gain an introductory overview and a basic understanding of the five practices of community organizing, illustrated with a real example from a Refugees and Immigration Justice campaign.
- Have the opportunity to learn from and connect with other organizers and leaders from around the world.
- Get an introduction to the Leading Change Network and our programs.
We will walk you through the five leadership practices of our community organizing framework: public narrative, relationship building, team structuring, strategizing, mobilizing people to action, and coaching. These practices are at the core of transforming our communities’ resources into the power needed to achieve the desired change.

The SSS workshop, which stands for Story, Strategy, Structure, is a workshop model designed for a specific core team in their journey to lead a campaign to address an urgent challenge their community is facing. Long-standing groups find the workshop to be a critical opportunity to revitalize their narrative and strategy, giving them the space to reflect, renarrate, and strategize. For emerging groups, the workshop is a way to build their campaign roadmap, to reach a collective vision and a real campaign strategy and timeline. In February this year, LCN embarked on a journey to Uganda with our long-term partner organization International Justice Mission to support a remarkable group of women in their endeavor to initiate a campaign. Through the SSS workshop model, the core team of 12 women developed their roadmap for a powerful campaign to pursue justice and accountability with women impacted by Intimate Partner Violence. Now
