Campaign Bootcamp

Abigail, Applications for an amazing training opportunity run by our friends at Campaign Bootcamp are open, and there's only a couple weeks left to apply! Campaign Bootcamp is a week-long residential training that gives activists the confidence, skills and community they need to run effective campaigns. After the week of training is over, graduates get access to a mentor, follow-up events and a thriving network of support. If you want to nurture your campaigns, this is the training for you. Are you interested in applying? This will be the last residential training of 2017. It'll run from Monday 16th October - Saturday 21st October 2017. The deadline to apply is 9am on Tuesday 22nd August. Click here to find out more and apply.  Or maybe you know people who might benefit from our training?  A group fighting for change in their community that needs support?  An activist that needs a confidence boost?  A campaigner living far from a lively activist scene? If so, please encourage them to apply by forwarding this email on to campaigners and activist groups you love. We have loads of scholarships available to make sure that no one is priced out of attending.  All the information they need to apply is here.  More than 60% of applicants come on a full or partial scholarship - that means for most people, training, food, accommodation and travel is free!  Find out what scholarships we have available here.  If you have any questions about Bootcamp, just drop their Community and Training Coordinator, Tamara-Jade, an email at hello@campaignbootcamp.org. Thank you and happy campaigning!
