Join Tides Canada’s President & CEO, Ross McMillan, as he speaks as part of the Leading for Change lecture series.
Reinventing Social Action: Is Collaborating with Opponents Selling Out or Smart Strategy?
There are new demanding problems that call into question traditional approaches to social action. Significant strife has arisen in recent years within the BC activist communities over collaboration with other parties such as industry, First Nations and governments. Is collaboration needed to solve intractable social and environmental problems? Should it be an essential part of campaigning? Join a discussion around the forms and applications of collaboration and consider what a new understanding of collaboration could mean for a reinvented activism.
