Activist Training Day

Activist Training Day

War on Want held an activist training day on 10 March 2007 9am-1pm @ Mermaid Conference Centre as part of our members day. The day was made up of 3 sessions:

  • How to campaign on global justice and development issues - how to communicate messages successfully and bring others on board of your campaign
  • Structures of power and influence – how things work in government and who to target for campaigning actions – sharing successful campaign strategies
  • Media skills workshop – techniques of how to deal with the media – how to get a story in local/student media

The day was a success! Even though fewer people showed up than had registered (too early in the morning? transport disruption?) everyone enjoyed themselves and got stuck into the workshop and the campaigning activities. If you would like to receive copies of the handouts and information given out on the day, please email

If you would like us to keep you posted about when the next training day will be and other events, or you would like to get more involved in our campaigning, sign up to our YAN email update here.
