CHANGE = ACTION WORKSHOP OPEN CALL
23 - 24 AUGUST 2014
Change is about not following set rules.
It is showing disobedience to rules, or perhaps authority, in your own way. For the people, the planet and the community. But before you get started, get organised. The workshop Change = Action will introduce you to campaigning, direct action and useful strategies.
What is your cause, and how do you create your project towards success?
In 1,5 day we will share, learn and have fun together using creative exercises and activities.
Let's create a change.
The workshop will be part of the philosophic discussions of The Human Myth festival: the role of humans in the socio-ecological system. The festival will be open to the public on 28-29 of August, when will be presented performances, lectures and concerts.

Trainers
Vincent Deinum (NL), workshop trainer:
About me: My name is Vincent Deinum and I have to make a confession. I am an addict. And inspiration & creation are my drugs. I love working with people, individually and in groups, and I love facilitating a change. Therefore you often find me coaching people 1-on-1, training groups and consulting organisations. My topics are vitality @ work, mental resilience, engagement and leadership. I do this mostly in the Netherlands, where I also support the FossielVrij.nl network of 350.org. I am looking forward to having a great weekend with you!
Paolo Zuccotti (IT/SE), artistic leader of the festival:
In 2008-9 Paolo studied physical theatre at the Scuola Teatro Dimitri (CH). In 2013 he has completed a bachelor degree in acting at the Norwegian Theatre Academy. Today he is interested in the relation between art and activism, and the potential of creative practices in shaping active citizenship.
Gillian Grogan (US), singer-songwriter and workshop organizer:
Currently completing her bachelors of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) in environmental engineering, energy, and sustainability, Gillian joins the festival as both scientist and artist. She is driven by a desire to motivate individuals and communities, both with discussion and her own folk music, to begin transitioning to a more environmentally sustainable future.
