Workshop:  Why People Won’t Change and What You Can Do About It

Date & Time: 1.15pm Sunday 29th March

Run Time: 2hrs

Summary:

People resist change in all aspects of their lives, not just veganism and non-speciesism.  As animal activists, we become frustrated that, after sharing the inherent cruelty of people’s choices, they still don’t change.  It is essential to understand the unquestioned assumptions that underpin their decision-making.  By using the notion of social and cultural myths we can more easily break the trance and help people make kinder choices. 

In this interactive workshop, we will examine four different activism roles that occur in any social justice movement. By applying and understanding the myths that underpin people’s behaviour, we can work to reducing their resistance and increase the chance of them changing.  You will leave this workshop feeling more empowered in your activism. 

To Attend Workshops please ensure you have purchased a ticket.
