Civil Action Network

CIVIL ACTION NETWORK

We support effective and resilient bottom-up social change. A thriving and active civil society is a crucial factor for peace and justice in this time of multiple overlapping crises that require big transformations. By identifying and systematically addressing barriers to participation we help civil society to grow around the edges. By providing training, facilitation, coaching, and regenerative spaces for civic actors we help civil society to be more effective in the long run and those engaged to thrive while working for a world that works for everyone.

WHAT WE DO

By providing low-threshold offerings we engage communities and individuals at the edge of civil society. While taking many different shapes these offerings are all rooted in one principle: creating connection through hosting spaces for meaningful contact between life realities, ideas, needs, and people. Read more about these offerings here.

Our work with active people and groups focuses a lot on principles and practices that enable a regenerative, long-term viable way of organizing. Social change is a long game and providing services like facilitation, training and coaching to is our way of resourcing initiatives and movements to keep playing it with integrity, conviction and joy. 

WHO WE WORK WITH

With our different offerings we reach diverse actors: From local neighborhood organizers, to grassroots activist groups, to NGOs,  to people who would not consider themselves active members of civil society at all – by engaging this wide range of stakeholders we are able to provide the support that’s needed, where it’s needed.
