Set up a stand

Create a stand with the goal of getting people interested in joining Amnesty.

• Location: Choose a place with lots of foot traffic
• Attract attention: Snacks, activities or giveaways can draw people in
• Invite to something: Have a specific event to invite them to - an info evening, film and pizza night, workshop etc.

Your regional office can help you with merch and anything else you need for your stand

Hold an information meeting

Organize a meeting to present Amnesty's work and how people can get involved.

• Venue: Ask to borrow a lecture hall, meeting room or space at the library
• Invite people: Make posters, ser up a stand, and invite people you know
• Preperation: Think about what attendees would like to hear. Share what you groups does and why you chose to be involved in Amnesty
• Food and drink: Serve pizza or other snacks

Social Media

By posting regularly on your Amnesty account, you can reach potential new members

• Activism: Show what your group is doing and invite people to events
• Passion projects: It's inspiring to hear other talk about what they care about
• Being involved: Show what it's like to be part of your Amnesty group
• Recruit for roles: "Are you our new leader?" "We are looking for a social media coordinator"

Other ideas:

Be creative! Think about what would have sparked your own interest in Amnesty. Here are a few ideas:

• Love knitting? Host a "human rights and yarn" event
• Picnic: A low-key way to meet interested people and talk about getting involved
• Student? Ask your lecturers if you can speak briefly at the beginning of a class
