 EFFECTIVENESS\nDemocratic movements in many countries have sought to 
 "occupy" as a symbol and organizing tactic for political, social, economic, 
 and ecological change. This workshop encourages participants to dialog and 
 research strategies and tactics used by present-day and past movements for 
 change to determine which are most effective. The workshop draws on 
 contemporary and historical texts, with role plays and invited speakers. 
 Participants co-create the schedule with the workshop facilitator by 
 recommending topics for following sessions. The project is intended to 
 foster knowledge acquisition, critical thinking, and dialog to foster 
 change.\n\nBrought to you by University of the Commons
