Campaigners often tell us that time, capacity and budgets can be a barrier to professional development, so we’ve launched the new Campaign Carousel Mini.
It’s the same expert led campaign training but removes those barriers, offering a shorter, more flexible way to learn essential campaigning skills without committing to a full programme.
Not everyone can jump on the full Campaign Carousel, and that’s okay.
The Campaign Carousel Mini is designed for people who want to build their campaigning confidence but need something that fits around busy roles, limited capacity, or competing priorities, giving you the building blocks to start making change, with the option to go further when you’re ready.
How does it work?
Start with three core sessions:
- Introduction to campaigning and social change
- Analysing the problem and planning for change
- Storytelling for change: campaign communications
Choose two additional workshops from the wider Campaign Carousel programme, so you can focus on the areas that are most relevant to your work.
Learn from SMK’s experienced Associate trainers, who bring years of campaigning experience into every session.
Become part of the wider Carousel community, meeting other campaigners during workshops and at our quarterly Campaign Carousel online get togethers.
What is the difference SMK’s expert led training makes
“It was a great opportunity to build connections with people working on a wide range of issues and to learn from their experiences. The mix of workshops and online sessions created a supportive space to share ideas, reflect on different campaigning approaches, and gain new perspectives that I can apply in my own work.” Rebecca Ogbonna, Campaign Engagement Mobilisation Officer at the Royal British Legion
“The programme had a massive impact on our campaign. We have improved on how we structure, plan, and involved other organisations in our campaign. The training provides so much in-depth ideas and information to create a strong campaign that will have meaningful impact.” Yetunde Omotosho-Ajuwon, Praxis
You’ll find more feedback and reflections on our impact page.
