What is the primary difference between mobilizing and organizing, according to the video?

Mobilizing focuses on maximizing the number of people involved, while organizing focuses on developing the capabilities of people to become leaders and activists.

Describe the 'lone wolf' model of engagement. Why is it considered less effective than mobilizing or organizing?

The 'lone wolf' model involves individuals focusing on building their own power and knowledge, often without actively engaging or collaborating with others. It's less effective because it doesn't leverage collective action or develop a broader base of support.

According to the video, what is a key characteristic of mobilizers?

They focus on maximizing the number of people involved without necessarily developing their skills or commitment.

Explain why organizers are considered more effective in the long run compared to mobilizers.

Organizers invest in developing people's capabilities and building relationships, leading to more committed activists and leaders. This creates a sustainable base of support for future actions.

What is the 'word of warning' given about organizing events? How can organizers avoid this pitfall?

The warning is that focusing solely on organizing individual events can distract from the bigger picture of developing other organizers. To avoid this, organizers should prioritize training and empowering others to lead events.
