STARTING STRONG COALITIONS
October 18th, 1pm - 4pm EST/ 10am - 1pm PT
If believing strength in numbers is how we win long-term change, then coalitions are a natural step that many organizations take. But what makes a coalition able to sustain inevitable conflict? Under what conditions should coalitions be started or ended? How can coalitions begin with clarity and intentionality?
​
This workshop covers the fundamentals of creating a strong coalition. There are steps you can take to develop clear expectations, community agreements, and conflict resolution practices that will keep your coalition strong for the long-haul. This workshop will offer concrete steps you can take and tools you can use for starting coalitions.
​
This is an interactive online workshop. Be prepared to practice and receive feedback. Having a computer with strong internet connection and the ability to connect to video will ensure the best experience.
​
By the end of this workshop you will have:
-
Explored challenges we face working in coalition
-
Identified best practices for developing and maintaining a coalition
-
Developed a set of criteria for coalition development that can be used in your local work
