I have recently started an online course through the United States Institute of Peace Global Campus titled 'Civil Resistance and the Dynamics of Nonviolent Movements'. While not directly related to effective altruism, I have found it to be full of ideas and theory around movement building that I believe could be applied to EA.

Some examples are how to appeal to different audiences, how to upscale a movement (diversity of members is the key, which requires a diverse range of activities people can participate in, e.g. for EA not just analytical) and strategic analysis. I'm now thinking about the best ways to apply them through my chapter in Adelaide.

Once I finish the course I'm going to write a summary/guide for applying this course specifically to EA. That probably won't be for another few weeks, so I just wanted to put up a primer and highly recommend that you take the course, especially if you are interested in building the EA movement in your own area.

The link to the course is below, and it is currently free. Takers of the course will be able to sit an online assessment and receive a certificate soon, which I'm told is internationally respected.
