Plan to Win

Strong social movements are built on one-to-one relationships and a culture of learning.

The Melbourne Campaigner’s Network provides regular gatherings for activists, campaigners and organisers to learn together. The emphasis is on networking, exchanging ideas, and discovering new approaches which can be applied to campaigns.

MCN is co-convened by three Melbourne activist educators: Holly Hammond, Naomi Blackburn and Nicola Paris.
