Ensure that the agency will find a solution to the problem
Try to understand the issue from the clients’ point of view – asks questions
Review the case and tell them that the agency will find other ways to keep the publicity on
Take the responsibility but stress the need for an open dialogue regarding budget and communication planning
Apologize for what is happening
Research the clients’ historical background
Set up an in-person meeting can add more time to give their answers

Theory – Dialogue as building a culture of peace;
Dialogue approach in feminist movement – the example of inviting men to the conversation. Should men directly participate in the discussions involving feminism and marginalized groups?
With men involved, we think that the awareness of the movement would increase – they would probably spread the word through their own built relationships with other men and increase the chances of more supporters
Localization theory applied to PLNs – you have to build relationships in order to understand the culture that you are in.
Culture = people
The concept of social justice itself has to be studied before any action is taken and considered relative to the people it would benefit.
How: when you apply PLNs with a “social justice” goal is important to go through all levels of relationships to understand the issue – don’t limit your research on the people in powerful positions – get to know the community needs and interests (connectivism).
Listen, understanding your surroundings, connect with people.

Lorena & Paige

Cultural can be limiting to the feminist ideology. Ex: U.S. – Trump Era: white men take the standard and diminish the credibility of powerful movements.
Economical and Political – people who diminish the movement, as well as white feminists doesn’t feel the burden of it.
Feminist: different categories in different cultures. Some issues like lack of basic resources can have a huge impact on our perception of the movement’s urgency.
Individualistic X Collaborative way of leading a movement differs
Kenya: relationships create a positive agency that allows them to be in the movement. It is different when you think about the feminist movement in the U.S.
