Leading a Digital Social Action Campaign
So climate change, huh? Pretty bad stuff. I know we can all look at this and feel like it’s out of our control or there’s too much to do. It’s definitely something we can relate to.
But, where’s there’s a will there’s a way – come along and we’ll talk you about how we’ve launched different social action campaigns as part of the Peace First platform, using digital methodology to reach and engage large audiences, found ways to make decision makers stop and listen to our asks and future-proofed campaigns so they have the power to keep making a difference.
We’ll be giving you our top tips from our experiences, taking you through step-by-step how you can start a social action campaign, and how to build a team so you can make a difference and how Peace First can fund and support your next steps launching a campaign.
