Creating Social Change: A Guide for Everyday Citizens

Every person deserves the freedom to live a healthy, happy, and secure life. However, the society we live in today often makes it difficult for us to be in a poly-crisis, which refers to a cluster of interconnected crises that worsen each other, creating a situation more difficult than the sum of its parts.

Here's a breakdown of the concept:

• Multiple Crises: A polycrisis involves several major crises happening at once, like climate change, economic instability, and social unrest.
• Interconnectedness:  These crises aren't isolated events. They influence and amplify each other. For example, climate change can lead to food shortages and economic instability and social unrest.
• Compounded Effects: These crises' combined impact is greater than each crisis's impact. This can overwhelm resources and make solutions more complex.

While the situation can feel overwhelming, we all are responsible for fixing what’s broken in our world. In this course, you’ll find out how you can help.

First, you’ll learn how to answer the call for change, research an issue, and set goals. Then, you’ll get specific strategies for driving social change individually and through collective action.
