True power in movements comes from genuine connections, where shared values spark action and commitment. That’s where the art of relationship building takes center stage.

And at the heart of effective relationship building lies a powerful tool: the 1:1 meeting. More than just grabbing coffee, 1:1s become transformative moments. They turn strangers into allies, fuel shared purpose, and unlock the collective power hidden within your community.

Want to master this game-changing tactic? Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll dive deep into relation building, jump on the bike to practice 1:1 meetings.

Ready to transform your connections into catalysts for collective action? Register now and let’s build more powerful movements, one meaningful conversation at a time.

Key Learning Points

Here are some of the key points that will be discussed at the event:

  • Understand why relationship building is a key organizing practice, which builds momentum and allows for the scaling of organizing efforts in a campaign.
  • Recognize how 1:1 meetings are used as a tool to building, establishing, maintaining and growing relationships in organizing, based on shared interests, values and resources
  • Understand how 1:1 meetings are structured and used to foster commitment.
  • Practice a 1:1 meeting, and get feedback, so that you can leave equipped to conduct 1:1s that forge bonds that drive tangible action.

Questions & answers

Relationships are the foundation of any successful movement. They are the channels through which values are shared, support is provided, and collective action is organized. When we build strong relationships with our fellow activists, we create a sense of solidarity, shared values and shared purpose that can endure through both good and bad times.

In the context of building relationships and movements, a 1:1 meeting is a strategic conversation used to forge powerful connections and mobilize collective action.

It is a conversation with one other person aimed at:

  • Uncovering shared values and goals: Through storytelling and active listening, you’ll delve beyond surface-level talk to discover what truly motivates each other.
  • Building trust and understanding: By sharing personal experiences and perspectives, you’ll create a space for genuine connection and mutual respect.
  • Mapping out a path for action: Instead of vague intentions, you’ll collaboratively develop action steps and mobilize new resources that turn conversation into tangible progress.
  • Strengthening the movement’s fabric: Each successful 1:1 meeting becomes a thread woven into the larger network of relationships that fuels a movement’s power.
