This includes challenges such as member-led organizing, developing local leaders, mapping power, building sustainable structures, and working strategically for long-term impact.

The Community Organising course is organized by Digidem Lab and Nätverkstan in collaboration with international partners in the field. The programme is funded by the Swedish National Agency for Higher Vocational Education and the Västra Götaland Region.

The course has been developed together with Save the Children, Svenska Kyrkan Göteborgs Stift, Folkets Hus och Parker, Frihamnsdagarna, Navet in Bergsjön, Saqmi, PAGE 28, Positiva Gruppen Göteborg, and Göthenburgo. It is grounded in the real challenges these organizations face in their everyday work, as well as their need for collaboration and knowledge development.
