  • Heres at Movements
    Opening Address Welcome to the first Movements: Protest, Politics and Activism in the Twenty-First Century Conference. Protest, activism and political and social movements have been a consistent and dominant feature of the political landscape in the twenty-first century. On 15 February 2003, millions of people across seven continents took to the streets (and ice) to demonstrate against the impending invasion of Iraq. Ever since, political protests and movement mobilisation have become a key feature of the political topography across the world: from the Arab Spring to Occupy, from the anti- austerity demonstrations in Southern Europe and the UK to the world-wide Women’s March, protests, movements, and other forms of dissent have punctuated political developments all over the world and have become a key and identifiable marker of both progress and regression. The local, national and global characteristics of these movements have taken on a new urgency in recent years and the role of protest and activism have developed in new and interesting directions. If they have, until recently, been focused on specific political or policy issues (such as the Iraq War), they now from an important part of campaigns in electoral politics. Once a marker of electoral failure, political rallies seem increasingly important for electoral success and lately, figureheads of populist campaigns have described these gatherings as ‘movements’ with added frequency. Movements, activism and protests take various forms. Although social politics and party-political movements have become an identifiable feature of protest in the twenty-first century, protests, such as the EuroMayDay demonstrations of the early 2000s, risk being ill-defined and reactionary.

CREATE compares face-to-face training with on-line training for OTs in completing the AHP Health and Work Report (AHP H&WR). Method Mixed methods study. Phase 1, OTs will co-design an on-line training resource. A standardised face-to-face group-based training session will also be developed based on the same content. Phase 2, a feasibility study will be conducted. Thirty OTs will either attend face-to-face group training or access the on-line resource.
