- Description: This pamphlet will help you to plan a workshop. It looks at planning the content as well as the practical arrangements for the workshop. There are many reasons for having a workshop. They could include: teaching your activists a skill, like running meetings or producing media; analysing a new political development e.g. an election or a new law; planning a programme of action or a campaign; evaluating the work you have done in the past year, or the work you have done for a campaign; sorting out internal problem like structures that are not appropriate or a break down in working relationships. Whatever the reason for your workshop, you need to make sure that the aim is clear right from the start. Before you begin planning, you need to sort out exactly why you are having the workshop and what you hope to achieve by having the workshop. If your aim is clear, you can go ahead with the planning. This pamphlet is about planning a workshop ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE.

Was the Government’s action justified? What of the rule of law? Has the National State of Emergency achieved its objectives? When will the National State of Emergency be lifted?
