8.9 Conclusion to the course
Playing a part in making positive change happen for people and planet is one of the most important and satisfying things you will do.
This course was designed to offer changemakers new perspectives on understanding how change happens and how to make change happen. We hope it has increased your awareness of your own power and potential to influence change and has strengthened your confidence as an agent of change.
All of us will face many challenges as we seek to make change happen. Understanding what these are and how to face them means having our minds firmly placed in the realities in which we live. Change takes time and is often achieved through small, sequential action that requires dogged persistence. But it also happens by grasping new opportunities or taking advantage of critical junctures and events that arise and ‘dancing with the system’.
Above all we hope that this course has inspired and motivated you to go out and make change happen in the world.
We wish you all the best.
