Back by popular demand! Building on the success and learning from our 2023 and 2024 cohorts, we introduce you to the fundamental concepts of community organising.
Key questions:

• What is power? How can a Students Union build it?
• How can we deeply understand the priorities of our communities?
• How can I give people the tools and encouragement to lead themselves (instead of doing things for them)?
• How can we run exciting, energising action that wins change?
• How can we build relationships with our wider community rooted in shared priorities?
• What does this mean for my Students Union and how we work?

It will be delivered by experienced, professional, Community Organisers who understand your context. It is designed to support SUs considering membership of our civic alliances, or thinking about how they might engage with the world beyond their campus more impactfully. Previous trainees have gone on to lead major regional actions, transform their SU, and lead countless other bits of amazing organising.

This is suitable for (and has been attended by) people of all staff roles and grades, including CEOs and Senior Management. We believe that the mixed cohort allows for a very different kind of training.

Based on feedback we have worked hard to bring down our costs, and will be passing those savings on to you!

Cost per delegate is £370 - this includes accommodation and food. Additional nights of accommodation before and after for those who need it is available, at an additional cost.

As we believe our method is most impactful when permanent staff as well as officers are using it - we ask that each SU that wishes to send officers, also sends at least one member of staff.
