"The report is split into three chapters: chapter one looks at over one hundred different campaigns, highlighting effective and successful campaigns, and the evaluations of them where possible. Those that are not evaluated can be used as inspiration. The categorisation of the different campaigns was

difficult, therefore within the chapter itself the campaigns have been categorised into 12 different topics, however in the bibliography they are categorised by the country that they originated in. In order to visualise how many campaigns fell into two different categories, the campaign crossover table was created. It is important to note that some of the campaigns in the table may also have fallen into a third category as well, but this has not been displayed. Chapter two identifies training resources and articles that lay out the current state of thinking on the following six different topics: counter/alternative narratives, disinformation resources, good/best practices, current thinking, educational resources and toolkits, and finally, resources discussing online radicalisation. Chapter three provides summaries and key takeaways from the three round table discussions we conducted in Brussels, London and The Hague [...] Finally, as a result of the knowledge gathered in this report, the conclusion and recommendations lay out the necessary components for building a successful, effective, and impactful campaign, in the hopes that it will be informative and useful for future campaigners and trainers."

ation, réagissant aux prises de position ou aux actions des décideurs qu’il cherche à influencer. Il tentera pour cela de discréditer le discours ou de dénoncer les agissements de ses opposants en mobilisant le public ou en diffusant ses messages à travers les médias pour mettre la pression sur les décideurs. Pourtant, ce ne sont pas les seules cordes à son arc ! Pour influencer, modifier, créer, abroger une politique ou une pratique, un plaidoyeur va également tenter de négocier avec les décideurs, de proposer des solutions alternatives, après avoir décrypté les intérêts de ses différents interlocuteurs. Il va saisir les opportunités lui permettant de prendre part au processus de décision (officiellement ou non) et va fournir des éléments d’expertise jusqu’ici inexistants, parcellaires ou méconnus permettant d’appuyer ses propositions. En fonction des acteurs et des évènements, le plaidoyeur va donc alternativement adopter une démarche de confrontation, (dénonçant par exemple des injustices vécues par un groupe d’individus) ou une position de co-construction, lorsqu’il a l’opportunité de faire progresser ses positions. Il va successivement se positionner au coeur et en dehors du processus de négociation." (Page 4)
