A small group of IEU members was provided with information and strategies to become effective advocates for this historic vote at a two-hour hour workshop in July.
The workshop, at the IEU’s main office in Ultimo, focused on the key campaign messages and having the most effective conversations to persuade workmates, friends, neighbours and fellow community members to vote ‘yes’.
The workshop outlined the positioning of the Unions for YES! Campaign and included a basic overview of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
Participants also learnt about connecting with the campaign and building conversation skills, explore the key campaign messaging and develop strategies to contextualise the campaign messaging for friends and colleagues.
