Community Mobilization FUNdamentals

The Community Engagement & Mobilization Game is a highly interactive, gently competitive, and fun simulation activity to teach common skills and strategies for effective community engagement and mobilization developed by Dr. Tom Klaus.  (Trainer bio below)

The purpose of the game is to teach the fundamentals of community engagement and mobilization through a live demonstration of its core principles. The game will be interspersed with learning modules and discussions to help participants more clearly observe the principles and strategies that are emerging in the game. 

Participants in the game have given it very high marks. Here are just a few of their comments:

• “I saw clearly how important it is to have TIME to build relationships. We don’t ‘recruit’ just to have numbers. Quality relationships matter.”
• “It helped to make abstract concepts more concrete. It was nice to see all of things we have been discussing in this training put into action.”
• “It is so, so important to seek the voices of those who typically don’t feel engaged or included.”
