Join us for a month-long master class in campaigning and civil society leadership: all in time for the European elections in June & beyond. This training combines the community organising method of leadership training, developed at Harvard University, with running your own real-life campaign in Europe.
We are launching this class ahead of the European elections to enable activists to apply these practices to their campaigns right now. Build you skills in storytelling and public narrative, relationship building, strategy development, and enabling action. Register today to lead the way to greater citizen action, and a more inclusive, democratic, Europe.

Course Plan:
Session 1: Storytelling for Leadership – Learn how to tell your story to inspire others to join you in action! Learn what it takes to become an inspiring and authentic leader. Connect yourself and others to the purpose in order to tackle collective challenges with more emotional capacity to overcome them.
Session 2: Relationship and Trust Building – Learn how to build meaningful relationships to build more trust and expand your influence. Strategic relationship building and strategic “1 on 1” conversations are one of the most underestimated yet most powerful tools in leadership. This is where you learn how to recruit others to join you and build your community.
Session 3: Leading Effective Team – Leading change is a collective effort. Learn how to lead an effective team by crafting a collective purpose, mindful working culture, and tapping into the power of co-creation. We will also teach you the basics of effective facilitation to lead in a truly democratic way.
Session 4: Creative Strategy and Effective Action – Although based on broad values, effective organising campaigns focus on a clear strategic objective, a way to turn those values into action, and a workable path to full implementation. Learn how to craft an effective strategy that leverages the resources you already have, alongside what it takes to craft effective tactics and action to drive change.
