Community Organising and Local Democracy

Explore how to build a local, democratic structure of accountable individuals who can work together and act cooperatively

In this session Community Organisers Nick Gardham will explore how, once you have listened and started to identify the people who want to get involved in an area you can build a power base of collective individuals.
