Power Shift 2011 has one of the richest programs offered by any conference on climate change. What’s most valuable isn’t just the quality of the keynote speakers or the variety of things on offer, but also the opportunity for people to leave this summit having learnt how to make a difference after workshopping with some of Australia’s and the world’s most experienced and successful campaigners. The skills on offer are applicable outside of climate change, and are applicable outside of community organising: they will be of use to anyone who has to think about influence, team work, or effectiveness.

Here are some of the more advanced workshops on offer. We invite you to register your interest in this stream using the form at the bottom of this page.

Session 1, 11:30 am Saturday: Transforming the Way We Campaign
Nick Allardice, who leads Change.org in Australia, will give you all the skills and information to develop a successful campaign strategy.

Nick Allardice is a social change advocate and entrepreneur, with a history of creating and leading high impact national campaigns and organisations on the critical issues facing the world today. He has experience with a number of leading organisations including OzGreen, the AYCC, Oaktree and Make Poverty History. You can follow him on twitter @Nick_Allardice.

Session 2, 2:00 pm Saturday: Project Management
This advanced workshop will maximise your skills in planning and overseeing projects, and effectively managing a team of people. You’ll learn about project management tools such as how to use GANTT charts efficiently, tips for managing problematic volunteer management scenarios, and how to effectively delegate tasks amongst a group of people. Come learn how to be the best project and team manager you can be!

This workshop is run by Nick Allardice and Glen Berman. Glen Berman’s familiaritiy with project management comes from managing several national high profile campaigns during his time at Oaktree. He is also the AYCC’s current General Manager, a role which has endowed him with vast experience in time management, utilising resources effectively, and volunteer relationships.

Session 3, Noon Sunday: Reframing Climate Change
Since 2006, the amount of the public considering climate change a “serious and pressing” problem has slipped by almost 40%. Yet we know people are willing to invest in a better future for their children, that people are concerned about pollution, and that people think current levels of environmental protection are inadequate. What gives?

In this workshop, you’ll learn about the latest research in to how people think about issues and make decisions. You’ll encounter ideas about how neurology, psychology and linguistics interact to shape the way we think and live. Most valuably, you’ll discuss how climate change campaigners can learn from this, shaping the way we talk about the issues in order to highlight our shared values and shared interest in acting.

This workshop is run by Amanda Mackenzie, AYCC Co-Founder, and Nick Moraitis, founder & director of Make Believe. Amanda is currently employed by the Federal Climate Commission, advising on their communications. You can follow her on twitter. Nick, in additional to his role at Make Believe, a communications consultancy, has years of experience in public engagement at both Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

Session 4, 4:30 pm Sunday: There is an ‘i’ in Teiam
Working effectively in teams is crucial to success in almost every pursuit. When organising around climate change, one is often working with volunteers whose commitment and ability vary widely. Managing such a team, empowering its participants, and getting outcomes, is no easy task.

In this workshop, you’ll learn insights in team management that can otherwise only be gained through years of dedicated group organising. The presenters will also draw upon the work of Marshall Ganz, who has done extensive research in to organising and social movements. As a consequence, every team you are in will benefit.

This workshop is run by Nick Moraitis, founder & director of Make Believe, and Sara Haghdoosti. Sara was the Power Shift 2009 Recruitment Director, has been active in the Women’s Movement, and is a Field Organiser with GetUp!

The AYCC is thrilled to present Charlie Mayfair, Asa Broomhall and Very Unique Existence,in an all-action, head banging, high-energy concert to celebrate climate action, on October 16th.

Charlie Mayfair

After the release of their debut EP in 2010, Charlie Mayfair have had a momentous year with a performance at the Sunset Sounds festival in January, as well as supporting nationally acclaimed songsmiths The Panics. They have recently returned from an East coast tour in support of their latest single ‘Tell Her’, which included a sold-out show at The Zoo in Fortitude Valley. The track has gained support from national youth broadcaster Triple J and has built much anticipation for their forthcoming second EP – set for release later this year.

Asa Broomhall

Australia’s favorite Rock/Roots larrikin, Asa Broomhall, is “a star on the rise, and for all the right reasons” (Scene, July 2009). From clubs and festivals all over Oz, to supporting national and international acts, Asa is sailing on the momentum of his fourth independent and self-produced release: Revelry Road. His stunning instrumental prowess, sharp and cutting lyrics, and clear vocal style combine to bring a dynamic show with a dose of mischief. Now returned from tours through the UK, the US and Canada, Asa is bringing the music in his soul to share with us at Power Shift Presents!

Very Unique Experience

Very Unique Existence, a positive consciousness rock band, will be doing a special Enviromotional performance for Power Shift 2011. Rich Latimer has had a strong connection to the environment since a young age, growing up removed from society living in nature, without electricity or running water. Very Unique Existence brings an earthy, acoustic line-up, including Didgeridoo, Djembe and Cajon, and aims to enhance our emotional connection to the environment and provide an emotional release for our responses to climate change. The band’s song ‘This World’ was selected for the Australian Anti-CSG CD, and Rich is making the song a free download for Power Shifters. Grab the song and follow the movement at http://aycc.veryuniqueexistence.com

Rock to the good vibes. Feel empowered.
Start the transformation!

Generation Zero is a campaign created by young kiwis that aims to fight for our generation’s right to a safe climate at this year’s general election. We are an alliance of around 10 small and large youth organisations that have come together in order to push candidates from all parties to show a greater level of ambition on climate policy and a responsibility towards the next generation.  Since March we have grown from a small group of 6 individuals to a thriving organisation with around 100 active members and around 6000 supporters. 

Our journey to this point was a largely due to groups like the Australian Youth Climate Coalition that a few of us met and worked with at the international climate negotiations in Copenhagen and Cancun. The AYCC, and other global groups from the US, the UK, and China, showed us what could be possible. These were groups of young people, not very unlike ourselves, working together in professional organisations to create smart campaigns, run events and empower a generation to take on the special interests that are putting our future at risk.  We realised that we were part of a global youth movement and that we were more than capable of creating a coalition of young people and organisations within New Zealand to do the same. 

Kirk in Mexico for the climate negotiations

All this year, we have been inspired by the work AYCC has been doing in pushing for a carbon price, and our brave friends being arrested outside the White House for protesting against the Keystone XL  pipeline and the many other worthy initiatives that we see everyday from our friends in the global youth climate movement.  The friends I have in the International Youth climate movement and the brave and creative work they do is source of daily inspiration.  I just have to hope onto facebook to see what’s going on Mexico, or Nepal or London these days to know that we are not alone in our cause, and our frustrations. I can realise that I share my vision for a better world with tens of thousands of people all over the Earth. 

We’re closest to the AYCC, so we hear a lot about what is being done in Australia. When one of our Australian AYCC friends sent us an invite to attend the 2011 Power Shift, we figured it would be an amazing opportunity to come over and learn from the experience so that we could run our own in 2012.  The momentum and energy previous Power Shifts in Aus, the US and the UK created for the climate movement is exactly what we would like to replicate.  And there is no better way to learn than to attend one yourself and experience it yourself.   So four of us are coming over to Brisbane in a couple of weeks to learn but also to share.  To share our story and our journey to hopefully show young Australians that they are part of a global youth movement, and that in every corner of the world there are young people standing up for our shared future. We look forward to meeting you!

Power Shift 2011 contributes to the growth of a diverse, dedicated and visionary global youth climate movement. This movement worked on this video together last December to highlight our shared values. It’s easy to forget that we are part of something that stretches the globe – but this video can help us to remember.

The Australian Youth Climate Coalition, as part of the ‘Say Yes’ Coalition, supports the Clean Energy Future Package. While we would like to see less money going to the big polluters, and more investment in renewable energy, the package is a good first step towards an Australia 100% powered by renewable energy like the solar or wind power – you can read some of our analysis and commentary here, or watch our video summary.

However, what is most striking about Minister Combet’s message is his thoughts on the power of young people to make a difference. We’ve recently witnessed the role young people played in Egypt, where their resilience and vision for a better existence contributed to the massive social movement that brought down a dictator. Power Shift is about adding to the growth of a similarly powerful youth movement in Australia – one that is strong enough to bring about the huge change we need to solve the climate crisis.

While the climate crisis is already hitting home and affecting communities and peoples the world over, the Minister also reminds us that it’s our generation who will have to adapt to the consequences of decisions being made by the politicians of today. The pollution of our atmosphere, and the delay from our politicians in solving this problem, have created an environmental debt that we, as young people, will have to be paying off. Looked at in this way, it’s a simple issue of responsibility for businesses to reduce their pollution, and government to support them to do it. The problem shouldn’t be left for future generations to deal with.

Power Shift will be a great place to engage with these ideas and more. There’ll be a political panel, allowing us to ask questions of politicians from the ALP, the Coalition and the Greens. There’ll be workshops on campaigning that will empower us to make deep change, as young people in Egypt have. Most importantly, there’ll be 1000 young people, united against the threat of the climate crisis, and resolute in seeking out the opportunities.

Have your say below – what do you think of the Government’s efforts to address climate change so far?

Plenty of excited people have already booked their tickets to Power Shift and are now making plans for a weekend they’ll never forget. But many others are still unsure. Are you concerned about exams? Do you need to convince your parents? Are you worried about costs? Read on.

This post is your one-stop reference for everything you need to help you make up your mind about Power Shift.

We’ve split it up in to a few simple sections – firstly, explaining a few things about Power Shift and why it is valuable, and then answering a number of logistical questions.

If you can’t find an answer to your question, call us on (03) 9654 8678, or contact us online.

Of course, the most important thing is making sure you don’t miss out on Power Shift!

Why this is Powerful

Why Power Shift 2011?

The political debate around climate change in Australia has stagnated. The tone is being set not by inspiring leaders, but by vested interests – by big polluters, and by politicians looking to score points and win the media cycle. Power Shift is about shifting the power, and the conversation in this country. It’s about bringing together a generation of committed young people to demonstrate our passion on this issue and demand real action on climate change from our country’s leaders!

Why Brisbane?

We know that Brisbane is super important in the lead up to the next election (2013) because there are 13 marginal seats – that’s heaps! Everyone will be looking at seats in Brisbane in the coming months and years to see how they respond to issues like the carbon pricing legislation.

Which way did they swing last election? It was a real mix – there are a whole bunch of seats taken by both Labor and the Coalition, and it really is places like this where elections are won and lost. For this reason, we think that having a Power Shift in Brisbane can have a profound impact.

Back to top

Why October?

The proposed climate legislation is likely to be reviewed in Parliament in October The proposed climate legislation is being voted on in the House of Representatives on October 12th, days before Power Shift. The senate votes on November 7th, less than three weeks afterwards. We think this is a great opportunity to make our voices heard in one of the most politically influential cities in the country!

Back to top

Who is the AYCC?

We are building a generation-wide movement to solve the climate crisis. We do this by educating, inspiring and mobilising young people across the country.

It is young Australians who will face the consequences of decisions made today. That’s why we have the vision that will deliver the short-term political impact and long-term cultural change needed for a safe climate future.

The AYCC is entirely youth-run. We represent more than 30 of Australia’s largest youth organisations and nearly 70,000 individual members.

Back to top

What is Power Shift?

Climate change is the challenge and opportunity of our generation – it’s not about politics, it’s about ensuring a safe future for young people across Australia.

Power Shift is an event to strengthen the generation wide climate movement in this country. It will be 3 days of inspiring speakers, workshops, actions, and networking with over 1000 young Australians from all around the country.

In September and October, thousands of young people will come together for two incredible summits in Perth and Brisbane. Together we’ll engage with the solutions, make our voice heard, and launch a campaign to transform the country.

Here’s what Jordan had to say when the Roadshow came to Toowoomba.

Power Shift. I had read the amazing stories, been inspired by the videos, and completely overwhelmed by the amount of young people who all came together with the same goal – climate action. I couldn’t wait until I could join this group and be a part of the movement.

Being from Queensland, I couldn’t believe that Power Shift would be held in Brisbane this year – it meant that finally I would have the chance to get involved.

When I saw that AYCC were holding the Regional Roadshow for Power Shift, I was ecstatic to hear that the it was coming to my own town, Toowoomba! I just could not believe that we had this amazing opportunity to not only learn how to be involved in Power Shift but to establish a Toowoomba AYCC group.

The training day was brilliant. Turning up to a small group of like-minded people all pumped for climate action made me so happy. Many of us didn’t know one another, but as we listened to each other’s stories on why we had come, I realised that we were all here for the same wonderful thing: Power Shift.

As well as learning about Power Shift, we also worked on the establishment of AYCC Toowoomba. Having an AYCC Toowoomba group will just open up so many doors to the young people in Toowoomba who are interested in climate change and want to make a difference.

Getting the group off the ground will definitely be a challenge. Regional towns don’t exactly have a reputation for being progressive, and there is not a lot of exposure to amazing organisations such as the AYCC (that’s all about to change!).

But I know Toowoomba has huge potential, and despite the town’s rather conservative roots I hope that over time the group will expand to neighbouring regions. I’m so excited for Power Shift, because I know that the people from Toowoomba who attend will be inspired, and come back as enthusiastic as me about the future of AYCC Toowoomba. I can’t wait for Power Shift!!

We’re looking for engaging and
energetic young people to run
workshops at Power Shift!

Workshops are a core part of the Power Shift program – a chance for participants to turn theory into practice, learning the skills they need to take action in their communities beyond Power Shift.

We’re looking to offer Power Shift participants inspiring and empowering workshops from a wide range of perspectives and organisations.

The broad themes of the workshop sessions we’re looking to fill are:

Theories of change and social movements
Communicating climate change
Organising for action

There is also space for a limited number of sessions on themes outside of these – so if you’ve got a great idea that’s out of the box, let us know!

To express your interest in running a workshop at Power Shift Brisbane, please email emily.murray@youthclimatecoalition.org with some brief information on:

1.The topic of your workshop (and how it relates to one of the themes listed above)
2. An outline of the content you want the workshop to cover
3. The age or experience level you think your workshop would be suitable for
3. Any experience you have running workshops
4. Your organisation

Expressions of interest are due by Friday September 9.
