Conference on Creative Organizing! June 22-24, 2008 National Labor College 10000 New Hampshire Ave Silver Spring, MD <http://www.laborheritage.org/cco2008.htm> The Conference on Creative Organizing is a leadership training program for union staff, organizers and activists. Participants learn how to think outside the box and approach challenges creatively from a different point of view. Develop new skills and involve others in songs, chants, skits, game shows, costume, theater, and other creative strategies. Learn how to use cultural tools to combat fear, get members involved, attract media attention, integrate contemporary or "pop" culture into organizing strategies, and inject "interest" into union and political campaigns. Participants will: Exchange experiences and ideas for creative campaigns; Work on individual union campaigns; Share resources with organizers and artists from the Great Labor Arts Exchange, which will be held at the same time; Return home with a plan, educational materials, and a battery of new ideas and tools that will make your campaigns more compelling. Previous CCO participants said: "The Conference on Creative Organizing has given us a whole new range of tools and strategies." "Any activist attending this conference will come back with countless creative ideas for their campaigns." _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
