Participants new to the process will gain some basic tools to help develop effective strategies and tactics for promoting social change. The institute also offers more experienced participants a framework within which to reflect upon their practice, and gives all participants an opportunity to bring reflective practice into their own lives and organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Join Dr. Teresa Healy in an intensive, hands-on workshop in which you will be invited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Locate the role of policy advocacy within broader social justice strategies;<\/li>\n<li>Identify and develop awareness of key elements in policy advocacy;<\/li>\n<li>Compare policy advocacy campaigns from different contexts;<\/li>\n<li>Deepen your capacity to engage in experiential learning;<\/li>\n<li>Clarify your own values and approach to social change;<\/li>\n<li>Develop practical tools for conveying your messages more effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Summer Institute will be delivered by means of case studies, guest presentations, group work, digital content and readings.
