Conference Workshop: Networking
This event took place on 10 Sep, 2005

The original description of this event was :

Networking is an essential part of any campaign, but can easily consume huge amounts of time and effort. How can you create and maintain networks that best suit your group’s campaigning? What kind of partners should you be looking for and how can you support each other? In this workshop we will look at how geographically based and issue based networks have contributed to successful campaigns. Participants will be encouraged to contribute their own experiences and practical examples.

Various documents from the event are available below. These will usually be in PDF format.

Get networking by
Needing to campaign against local air pollution or an unwanted road? Don't do all the work without help - instead link up with other local groups which have overlapping aims.

Networking - top tips by
Key ideas and tips on successfully networking, including: getting potential partners interested; deciding your common aim; setting the groundrules; and communication and roles within the network.

Networking - engaging other groups by
Write up of a seminar in which people discussed local organisations that local groups could engage on our climate campaign (from members of Stop Climate Chaos like People and Planet and the Women's Institute, to groups we rarely work with, such as National Trust and Age Concern) and what messages could be used.
