Communication and Planning for Volunteers and Activists Survey

This course will help volunteers and activists learn new skills to improve how they work as individuals and together in groups and is suitable for anyone in either a paid or voluntary role. Led by an experienced community organiser we will explore the dynamics of collective care; through communication, decision making, facilitation and the importance of our roles and responsibilities within a group.

The following questions will help to give us an idea of what you'd like to get out of the course, and what experience you have already.

These activities could be a walking/sitting meditations, some simple drama ice breaker games.
Being an observer is as valuable as taking part, so should you wish to sit out of any activity it is encouraged that you do what feels right for you.
