Mobilization Skills

Inspiring and enabling others to engage in shared purposes and collective action.

Dimension Collaborating — Building Trust and Working Together

For me

  • What excites me about my subject – and does my class see that excitement?
  • How do I win colleagues over for an idea rather than talk them into it?

For my class

  • What would you want to get others excited about?
  • Who has carried you along before – how did they do it?

In the classroom

  • Students plan an action for the school (a collection, a break kiosk, an exhibition) and campaign for it.
  • Short speeches: win people over for a cause in 60 seconds.
