The Nebraska Organizing Conference is an interactive leadership workshop where students will learn to develop and initiate progressive activist causes. A staff of young trainers from Campus Camp Wellstone and student organizations will provide an invaluable experience to those interested in: advocacy, justice, community organization, media strategy, and other types of social mobilization.
A number of valuable skills will be taught including the art of crafting and moving a message, managing and motivating people, leadership, strategic planning, and more. This is a chance for activists interested in creating change in their schools and communities to come together with like-minded students for training, networking, and fun.
Saturday night entertainment will be hosted at Lazlo’s from 7:00-10:00 pm where local artists will show how their talents can be a vehicle for social change. Spoken word, slam poetry, music, art, and food will all be provided FREE of charge. Come get to know your fellow organizers!
