Why we are doing this?Relationship Building, is an essential organizing practice.

Impact is greater with individuals connecting & supporting each others work in various ways of sharing learning.

For a network to really function individuals need to get to know each other, explore & exchange interests & resources.

Coaching as an essential component of campaigns support and individuals growth.

What is the GLC?• We are building a community of organizers and civic activists from

various countries, fields and experiences to dive deep in four key concepts on community organizing and learning from one another’s perspectives, experiences and understanding of the framework.

• We will do this by holding 7 Global Learning Circles (online/on-ground) that will meet once a month to build a learning community based on relationships, discussed key readings, shared learnt experience and understanding of the topic for the duration of 4 months.

• We would like to invite you to join one of our circles!

#LCN2013

How will it work?

• Stable and bound circles that meet once a month for 4 months

• All the circles will discuss: Leadership, Public Narrative, Strategy, Structure
