Beautiful Rising: Stuffed With Ideas For Creative Activism
Beautiful Rising seems to be an outcrop from the Beautiful Trouble people - but really focused (and beautifully so) on organising an enormous range of creative-activists techniques for use.
The tag-cloud to the side is already a vital resource, filled up by a network of global contributors who have been working on this for a while (it's just launched and already massive).
We really like the way they group these techniques into five categories (or "tools in the tool box")
Stories: Accounts of memorable actions and campaigns, analysing what worked, or didn’t, and why.
Tactics: Specific forms of civic action, such as a flash mob or a parade
Principles: Time-tested guidelines for how to design successful actions and campaigns
Theories: Big picture ideas that help us understand the world and how we might change it.
Methodologies: Strategic frameworks and hands-on exercises to help you assess your situation and plan your campaign.
