Need to know your blogs from your tweets? This free short course, run over 2 evenings in November, is for anyone who is or wants to be involved in using the internet for influencing, lobbying and campaigning. The course is being run by Take Part, which is a local campaign that aims to encourage and support people to be active citizens.
What is Take Part?
Active Citizens try to do things that have a positive effect on their communities. This can mean anything from responding to consultations and surveys to voting in local and national elections, from volunteering to becoming a local councillor, from setting up a community group to becoming a school governor.
This course will take place on:
- Thursday 18th & 25th November 6pm – 8.45pm
- Community Base, 113 Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 3XG
Courses on this list are FREE. Help with childcare and travel costs is available if you need it.
To reserve your place please contact Working Together Project on 01273 810248, or email bookings@workingtogetherproject.org.uk. For more information ask for Rona or email rona@workingtogetherproject.org.uk
Why should you “take part”?
Because your ideas and opinions are important! They help to shape the decisions that are made about the area where you live. Take Part Pathfinder can help you by showing the routes others have taken into an active role.
How can you “take part”?
Attend one of our discussion groups or workshops; enrol on our free Leadership course starting in January 2010 and aimed at people who want to develop the skills needed to achieve the most out of being active citizens. If you already have lots of experience or skills to share, you can volunteer for our Mentoring course where you will learn how to support others with developing as active citizens.
