[Peace] Strategic Artistry!

[Elizabeth Simpson]

(this class is part of the Channing Murray Summer School of Radical Arts)


Today (friday) is the first of my Strategic Artistry classes! It is a 
galvanizing and motivating personal strategic planning and 
implementation course. It focuses on folks without external 
accountability structures (e.g. creatives and activists) but is 
applicable to all domains. Full descriptions are below.

Your first class is FREE!

Class will happen on June 14, 21, 29 and July 6 and 13 from 2-4pm
You
 can come to all classes for $40 or drop-in at $10/class. I can't 
express to you what a bargain this is! Normally this sort of workshop 
runs about $200 per person- wow!

Classes held at: Channing Murray Foundation,1209 West Oregon St., Urbana

PROMOTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
We've got passion, we've got ideas... but 
sometimes that awesome project just doesn't start or doesn't finish, for
 good reason or no reason. This tailored workshop will offer tools and 
tactics for starting or keeping our passion alive by planning and 
implementing DIY and DIO projects of all kinds, big and small. 
Especially for folks with compromised schedules, chronic 
procrastinators, burnouts, and those who just don't know where to begin 
or how to finish.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
To support both personal
 and social movement work, this workshop offers a period of composed 
reflection, anticipation, and design to assist participants in 
self-generating an understanding of where they are/come from and tools 
to effectively work towards where they want to go, personally and 
socially. It will leverage collective knowledge to provide insight on 
the social consequences of reaching (or reaching for) the desired 
differences, and will yield specific criteria for making personal, 
social, and organizational decisions in light of these explorations, as 
well as clearly defined objectives. Techniques will include knowledge 
harvesting, small-group dialog, concept mapping, somatic brainstorming, 
image theatre, collective analysis and synthesis, and participatory 
strategic planning. 

OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS:
What do you want? What are your resources? What are your inhibitors? 
How will you accomplish it? What will happen if you get what you say you want?
How does the work you are doing impact what others want: personally, socially, systemically?
What criteria do you use to make decisions: personally, socially, organizationally?
