How do we understand advocacy? Is it only vis-a-vis the State, or is it about influencing market forces and society too? What are the ways by which some citizen rights were secured by people's movements in India? How can corporations be held accountable? How can farmers' issues be taken up for influencing policy-makers? What role can ordinary citizens play?
Alliance for Sustainable & Holistic Agriculture (ASHA) Kisan Swaraj is organising a 2-day skillshare course on tools for advocacy to secure farmers' rights and to improve farm livelihoods on Dec.19-20 2019 in Bengaluru. Resource people for conducting the course include some of the individuals who have been actively involved in movements related to food, agriculture and environment over last few decades. The medium will be mainly English and Hindi, with support for translation depending on volunteers amongst participants.
