analysis of power

Privilege Backpack

The purpose of this activity is to explore participants experience of privilege in a practical way, thereby grounding participants theoretical understanding of privilege with a stronger awareness of the ways that they benefit from privilege in their daily lives. This activity is based on the work of Peggy McIntosh and her article “White Privilege: Unpacking the invisible knapsack”.

Power Mapping

Power mapping helps to identify campaign influencers, allies and other stakeholders and the relationships between them. The exercise itself is useful to practice conceptualising campaign strategy. When applied to real campaigns, the exercise can help to prioritise campaign targets and to identify useful ways of reaching them.
