The Session
Questions for your group
Which proposal best meets the campaign strand criteria?
What are the strengths & weaknesses of each proposal?
Which campaign idea provides the most important/effective means of tackling issues of corporate power?
From your campaigning experiences, would you prefer a campaign that is focused on our educational institutions or one with a broader focus?
Which proposal would your group be most excited about campaigning on?
Following a prioritisation process of all proposals received by the MC, seven campaign options are being brought forward to the Forum 09 for debate and the final decision.
Each of the seven campaign options will be presented by the proposers, and there will be a question & answer session where questions can be asked on any or all of the proposals.
After this discussion has taken place, there will be a vote to choose the new Corporate Power campaign, to be launched in late 2009.
The projected life cycle for the Corporate Power campaign theme is six years, 2009-2015. During this time, we will seek to run several campaign strands.
It is recommended that at the Forum 09, we choose one or two campaigns strands only, with one prioritised to be launched in September 2009.
After that, other campaign strands will be chosen at variable intervals, either to replace the initial campaign strand or to run alongside it. This process will continue throughout the six years.
Points to bear in mind when choosing campaign strands are that although they can be entirely distinctive from each other, our multi-stranded approach should enable us to campaign in a coherent and comprehensive manner, particularly given the time-scale.
