All activists meet as a group three times a year — in the spring half-term, at our epic summer Residential, and our end-of-year party in December. In between you’ll have regular online meetings where you will work on campaign planning and development, skills building, meeting inspirational speakers and one to ones with our youth team.

This might involve:

  • Speaking with or writing for local media — newspapers, radio or television.

  • Making creative social media content to spread the word about your campaign.
