The training programs we
design and implement can be classified under two major themes:
1- Training
Programs on Advocacy Concepts and Practices for groups that want to
gain the capacity to organize and conduct advocacy campaigns. While
these programs are very much field oriented, they furnish a strong
conceptual framework foundation that enable the participants to
make educated decisions about their advocacy and social justice work.
2- Preparation of Advocacy
Resource Persons Activities (PARP). In the PARP program,
participants acquire the skills needed to support other groups to
include advocacy in their programs. Being resource persons, their
services go beyond providing advocacy training for others, to providing
technical support in analyzing the internal and external environment
regarding an issue, designing and implementing advocacy campaigns, and
helping organizations to restructure to best function as advocacy
organizations.
These training events are either organized
for one group, or for groups of people who care for similar issues, or
even for groups of people with diverse issues. such as the training
program for the Citizenship and Voter Training School (CIVITAS) team of
Illinois, USA.
Size of the group is another variable in the
training programs in which People's Advocacy has been involved.
For instance, the training program that People's Advocacy has
co-facilitated for CIVITAS team in Illinois - Citizenship and Voter
Training School- had about ten participants. In
another instance, People's Advocacy has been involved with Ford
Foundation in organizing one week meetings (called Leadership for Social
Justice Institutes- LSJ ) each for up to 170 Fellows from about 20
countries.
Each of
these training events that People's Advocacy provides is tailored to the
specific needs of each group, and is highly interactive.
