Earth Share Australia
Earth Share Australia is a coalition of environmental groups. As part of their website, there is a social change training programme for people working on environmental campaigns.
The website has a Training Manual which covers a range of topics in lecture note style format, such as fundraising, information systems, boards, volunteers and campaigning skills. Note that Earthshare requests a voluntary donation if you use these materials.
In addition, there is a section of free Adobe PDF format downloads. The links to the most useful documents here are:
- A Hard Road to Learn: social change learnings from a campaign against an inner-city motorway in Brisbane that did not succeed in its ultimate aim, but provided valuable experiences.
- Web resources for environmental activists: a comprehensive listing of environmental campaign organisations in Australia, and many of the best social change and activist training websites, mostly from the US.
- Community Organising by the Book: an evaluation of the one week organiser training course run by Midwest Academy in the US.
