PROGRAM

This workshop will be interactive and practical.

You will explore:

  • The meaning of ‘advocacy’… what, when, how? (We already know ‘Why’!)
  • Tried and true techniques and strategies
  • Making change at every level – from community to government
  • Campaign case studies – lessons, top tips, do’s and don’ts…

Share your ideas and dilemmas with other Friends groups. Gain strategic skills and knowledge to help plan any campaign.

Join us at 10:30 am (for an 11 am start) in the Conference Room at City West Lotteries House. A light lunch will be provided.
