Why we are doing this?
Relationship Building, is an essential organizing practice.
Impact is greater with individuals connecting & supporting each
others work in various ways of sharing learning.
For a network to really function individuals need to get to know
each other, explore & exchange interests & resources.
Coaching as an essential component of campaigns support and
individuals growth.

Global Learning Circle
Rawan Zeine

What is the GLC?
• We are building a community of organizers and civic activists from
various countries, fields and experiences to dive deep in four key
concepts on community organizing and learning from one
another’s perspectives, experiences and understanding of the
framework.
• We will do this by holding 7 Global Learning Circles (online/on-
ground) that will meet once a month to build a learning
community based on relationships, discussed key readings,
shared learnt experience and understanding of the topic for the
duration of 4 months.
• We would like to invite you to join one of our circles!

66. #LCN2013
How will it work?
• Stable and bound circles that meet once a
month for 4 months
• All the circles will discuss: Leadership,
Public Narrative, Strategy, Structure
• Build relationships and discuss
readings/learning/perspectives
