The XR UK Strategy Assembly has spent the last 5 months considering and designing our 2021 Strategy. Now it is time to hit the ground running.
This Do Or Die Strategy Workshop is the starting block. Come join us to learn more about the strategy and discuss the various aspects and goals and how they relate to our group!
Once you have completed this workshop you will not only know the direction XR is taking but you will have identified your own next step to help reach our strategic goals!
Before attending we recommend you read the Do Or Die Strategy Document - LINK
During the session we will be focusing on Radical Inclusion, Nonviolent Direct Action and Mass Mobilisation. We recommend considering how these aspects of the strategy may affect you or how you may be able to push your group towards these strategic goals.
The session itself will be contained within 3 hours:
- Considering the Strategy and how we got to it
- Radical Inclusion Discussion & Break Out Session
- BREAK
- NVDA Discussion & Break Out Session
- Mass Mobilisation Discussion & Break Out Session
- BREAK
- Internal Growth Discussion & Break Out Session

- Declaring Intent
If you have any specific needs which need to be met for you to participate please don’t hesitate to reach out to the facilitators on (Insert Contact Details).
If you are newer to our use of breakout rooms and have some anxiety about being thrown into a small space with strangers you should check out these resources so you know what to expect:
How to run a Breakout Room, goes through why we do things the way we do and what roles are necessary within Break Out Rooms to ensure it runs smoothly.
How to Actively Listen: It’s important when having discussions that we listen to each other and not be thinking ahead to what we are going to say next. Sometimes it doesn’t feel natural, but some Rebels may want to add a spice to the mix that you hadn’t considered!

Dear Rebels,
We will be running the Do or Die Strategy Workshop and would love you to come!
The XRUK Strategy Assembly has been working hard for the past 5 months considering and designing our 2021 Strategy and now it’s time for all of us across the Movement to decide how best to continue this work. Please join us to learn more about the strategy and discuss the various aspects and goals and how they relate to our group!
We’ve included the link to the Strategy below so you can get familiar with it before you attend the workshop; and then during the workshop you and other rebels can explore the key questions together and identify what you can do as a group and as an individual, to help implement the plan.
This Do Or Die Strategy Workshop is the starting block. Once you have completed this workshop you will not only know the direction XR is taking but you will have identified your own next step to help reach our strategic goals.
