Yesterday we kicked off our Local Government Training Programme in the West Midlands, and WOW, what a start! 🎉

Meeting our participants and hearing what inspired them to apply was a real highlight. Their stories were powerful, and the enthusiasm from everyone online was fantastic.

And what a cohort! We’re thrilled to be working with people from Pakistan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Moldova, Sudan, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ivory Coast and Eritrea.

Next Thursday, 15th October we run our first workshop, on UK Politics, and we can’t wait to share our knowledge and insights with the group. Let’s go! 🚀
