This workshop does a fantastic job identifying the “anatomy” of a movement by relating to the components of a car that needs a driver or leader, a strategy which is the roadmap on the road of “social conditions”. The exercise is designed to engage the youth organizer in identification of issues that are relevant to them and also allies/supporters they can engage to make traction in addressing them.
