This is for you; the changemakers, the activists, human rights advocates, the community development workers and the students for sustainability. This is for everyone who wants to build a better world. The work you do is important, your visions of a just and sustainable world are valid, and co-creating a regenerative, economically viable society free of prejudice and conflict, is a commendable mission to take up, and that's what this campaign is about
Who am I?
Hi. Thank you so much for checking out my crowd-funding campaign! My name is Erfan Daliri and I'm an author, poet, activist, social change consultant and motivational speaker. With over a decade of experience in participatory development, youth engagement, social justice advocacy, consulting, and a Grad. Dip in Communication for Social Change, I've now written my third book aimed at empowering changemakers!
About The Book
'Raising Humanity' brings together all of my experiences from the field, years of research into the process of social change, understandings of human behaviour, the root causes of injustice and the most efficient pathways to justice, peace and prosperity for society.
I wrote this book because I wanted to empower and inspire people towards becoming more effective agents of social change, peace-builders in their communities and champions of social justice for the movements they care about.
I intentionally flip the narrative on its head and place the changemaker as the central protagonist in the process of building a peaceful, sustainable and equitable society rather than a resistance to the disintegration. I see us as actively involved in a steadily evolving and maturing human race.
Raising Humanity is a guidebook written to support and assist the next generation of changemakers and social justice champions. Taking the reader on an adventure of personal discovery as well and giving context on our global journey. The chapter subjects include;
- The Root Causes of Injustice
- Messaging and Campaign Design
- Understanding Gender-Based Violence
- New Paradigm Economy
- Climate Action and Future Trajectories
- Solidarity Amongst Humanity
- Unravelling Racism and Prejudice
- Emotional Intelligence and Literacy
- Earth as the Womb of Humankind
- The Vital Principle of Unity
- Mental Health & Resilience
- The Process of Social Evolution
- Personal Growth & Social Change
About The Tour
I was 19 when I completed my first inspirational speaking tour and over a decade later I'm still using my voice to create positive social change; through international spoken word tours, cross-cultural communication training, emotional resilience seminars, youth engagement projects and guest lecturing and keynotes.
By supporting this campaign you are supporting the printing of the book, the free Audiobook and e-Book, as well as the national speaking tour. I'll be meeting with youth groups, environmental protection and animal rights activists, NGOs working in human rights and settlement services, as well as community development and social justice groups in every state in the country. And I'm really looking forward to meeting you!
My Background
My experiences over the last 15 years include grassroots community development with refugee communities and Indigenous self-determination, to activism with animal rights and environmental protection groups, mental health research projects with survivors of trauma, personal development workshops with young prison inmates, resilience training seminars, international spoken word tours and of course launching the annual Newkind social justice conference.
Why?
The climate is heating up in more ways than one, and it's my ambition to bring some clarity and focus to the process of building a peaceful, sustainable and equitable society. In these times of huge social inequity, economic injustice, ecological collapse, and racial and religious tension, it is important for us to remain hopeful and clear-headed, and that is why I have written this book. I want to do everything I can to support young changemakers, community development workers, activists and NGOs in building the type of society we want to be living in.
The challenges we face do not daunt me, they actually excite and inspire me, and I feel honoured to be able to be a part of this process of evolving humanity. I'm looking forward to connecting with as many groups and individuals as possible to add momentum to the social evolution of humanity.
What...
By supporting this campaign you will help fund the publication of this book, the speaking tour, and you will also help in the production and release the e-Book, the Audiobook, and free video content for online release.
