A 4 weeks intensive course giving youth and volunteers the skills needed to design and plan campaign strategies and become future activists and change-makers in their local communities.
—————–
Campaigning for Change this summer in Jordan is an intensive course building your knowledge, skills and attitudes with relation to designing and planning campaigns for social change in a Middle Eastern context.
Throughout the course we will work on developing a joint campaign strategy about:
The Growing Violence in Jordanian Universities
The violence in Jordanian universities is growing. People are being stabbed, beaten and sometimes even killed on university ground. The reasons for the violence relate to several core social issues in the country such as: tribal conflicts, gender, honor and discrimination against minorities. Not enough is being done to stop the violence at the moment – But where should we start? How should we handle it? And how can we use campaigning as a tool to solve the issue?
The focus of the course will be on learning and practicing campaign tools and on developing a strong campaign strategy but we will also try our strategy out in practice by implementing a specific campaign activity.
In the last week of the course we will direct our focus towards future campaigns in our local communities. In order to engage more youth in campaigns we need to be able to share our knowledge with them, and therefore the last week is dedicated to facilitation and developing workshops about campaigning. We will develop short campaign workshops and carry them out for volunteers and youth activists in one of ActionAid Denmark’s partner organizations in Jordan.

? Get an in depth insight into the chosen campaign issue through field trips, guest speakers and other activities out-of-the-house
