London Campaigning Re-ignite
Overview
Organisations are already working on their policy briefings and demands for the first 100 days to present to the expected new government. But after the party and the first rush of enthusiasm, what will have changed? How can taking the long view lead to greater impact?
Featured guest
Benedict Southworth, 38 Degrees Trust board and former Executive Director / Campaigns Director at NGOs including Global Justice Now, Ramblers and Amnesty International, will lead the conversation.
Why?
Connecting to others organising for progressive change makes us a stronger and more effective network. Re-ignite events re-connect with peers and meet new people from past ECF events, the community and professors, alumni and students of the MA of Media, Campaigning and Social change (U. of Westminster): the host (and partner).
Participants include
Current students and alumni of the MA
Campaigning Forum community members/allies (e.g. NEON members)
Anyone interested in either of the above and campaigning for change
