Everyday Activism and Community Organising

This unit explores how everyday acts of resistance, care, and solidarity shape movements for social and environmental justice. Building on students’ foundational understanding of community development, it focuses on how collective change emerges through advocacy, community organising, and creative action. Drawing from grassroots campaigns and feminist, decolonial, and youth-led movements, students critically examine how power operates in communities and how organising can emerge from lived experience and be sustained through care, collaboration, and collective wellbeing.

Through experiential learning and reflective praxis, students develop core skills in facilitation, communication, and ethical activism, preparing them to act with courage, creativity, and humility in diverse community contexts.
