Free Training
The Active Citizens Hub’s new training programme is now out. All courses aim to help anybody looking to become more active in their community.
Courses can help you to gain the skills you need to get active, as well as giving you knowledge of the opportunities that are out there.
The current programme includes all the old favourites, such as Public Speaking, Being a Trustee and Effective Media Skills. They’ve also introduced a number of exciting new courses, such as Effective Lobbying, Working Well Together and Effective Meetings.
As well as these one off courses, they will be running several mid/long term courses, which will give attendees the chance to get a much deeper understanding of the issues.
These longer term courses are designed to help committed active citizens to make even more of a difference in their community.
