How it's organised

The organisation of this toolkit is like a library, with Shelves, Books  Chapters and  Pages.   Using the Search box above will search all of them

Quick start - go to the top of any page and select - Shelves and sort by "Name"
The resulting order of shelves is designed to broadly reflect the Rebel Journey in XR looking like this:
     1. Supporting XR            2. Group Building                3. Community Building
     4. Street Legal               5. Talks & Trainings             6. Art
     7. Publicity                    8. Politics and Beyond         9. Wellbeing
     10. Help in Using This Toolkit

  • What groups are doing to promote their events and message their actions!

Politics and Beyond!

  • At the Local and Regional level, getting politicians & councilors involved will be effective
  • How are groups engaging politically from lobbying MPs to bringing participarory democracy to the people!

Wellbeing

  • You need to prepare yourself before an action, to know you have the personal resilience to carry it through
