An effective blog can grab us, involve us, inform us, move us, motivate us, transform us, and mobilize us. What might help us write such blogs?
In this workshop, we will discuss blogs which we find particularly effective, and discuss how we can create blogs to promote nonviolent social change. How can we foster constructive dialogue within our blogs about the many dilemmas we face as progressive advocates?
Workshop participants will engage in role plays and participatory exercises in small groups. All participants in the workshop will be invited to engage in quick "on the spot" writing exercises, and to honestly and gently provide constructive feedback on one another’s work.
The workshop facilitator is Sam Diener. Sam is co-founder of the new Peacework blog, and was co-editor of Peacework magazine. He was also the editor of The Objector, published by the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors. Sam was also co-founder of DC Men Against Rape and the GI Rights Hotline, has long been active with efforts to counter military recruitment, and is on the National Committee of the War Resisters League.
