Start a People's Assembly in your area.

Network The Peoples Assembly (PA) on all the networks you can.

  • Form a big circle of people.

  • Introduction round- names of people and groups- items to put on the agenda- suggestions for smaller circles/working groups.

  • Choose a Facilitator and a notetaker.

  • Report back ideas from the previous meeting.

  • Have a focalised discussion on the agenda.

  • Break into smaller circles on different topics, mini meetings and a working groups

  • Feedback from all the small circles to the main circle

  • Type up notes and action points (who's going to do what and when)

  • Note well for clarity and focus alchohol should not be brought to the circle.

  • Plan an action.

  • Do the action (optional and can be done after the assembly for Peace, the environment ,local community etc this helps to keep the focus on action as well as discussions.)
