Power is a very abstract idea, a big and complicated concept. Each of us understands it in our own way, within the context of the issues we work on, the people we work with, what we have read about it, or based on our own experiences of power. The purpose of this workshop is to sort out the confusion and help us move to a shared understanding of power so that all of us who are committed to community development or social justice can build our strategies from a more comprehensive, shared definition and analysis of power as it operates in society, regardless of our specific issues, or socio-economic, political and cultural contexts. In this workshop, we will unpack: Where is it?  What does it look like?  What are its causes or sources?  How does it work? When: Tuesday 20th August 2024 Time: 9.30 am to 4.30 pm AEST Where: Ceres Environmental Park Melbourne / Naarm.  Cost: $250.00 / $212.50 + BF https://lnkd.in/gNEg5vwF
