Aprašymas

The pursuit of freedom and justice is a timeless one, but new activists may not know where to begin, while more experienced ones often become jaded or fatigued. The task of constructing a new society, free from oppression and inequality, can be overwhelming. Tools that facilitate motivation, engagement, and communication can mean the difference between failure and success for a fledgling social movement.

Educating for Action collects the voices of activists whose combined experience in confronting injustice has generated a wealth of key insights for creating social change. This practical hands-on, how-to guide explores such topics as:


Community activism and direct democracy
Conflict negotiation, communication, and rhetoric
Social media skills, conference planning, and online organizing
Written in an inspirational tone, Educating for Action consciously straddles the line between street activism and classroom instruction. By bridging the gap between these two sometimes disparate worlds, this engaging and instructive manual for social justice will help students, teachers, and larger activist communities turn their idealism into action.
