Step up your game as a campaigner
Our specialist workshops provide advice, tools and information to help you succeed in campaigning. They work for those who are new to campaigning or those who want to hone their skills in a particular specialist area.
We offer a series of three-hour online workshops with a focus on active learning. Each workshop is led by one of our expert Associates, who build in regular session opportunities for you to discuss and test out the tools and approaches covered. Our diverse programme runs three times a year so you can sign up to individual workshops when suits you. Choose the workshop(s) that best fit your interests.
Want to sign-up to nine of these workshops and have access to mentoring and a community of campaigners? Then check-out out our Campaign Carousel training programme.
