Workshops on communication and climate change, focused on our core values; they are aimed primarily at people volunteering with us but are open to all. The workshops are practical and participative and provide an opportunity to meet with other people who are enthusiastic about acting on climate change.

TRAINING: ‘Giving Workshops and Presentations’

We are offering a free three-session training course for people interested in running workshops and giving presentations, as part of CCF’s essential outreach.

The 2-hour sessions will be facilitated by Penny Henderson from 7.30-9.30pm on Mondays June 27th, July 11th and July 18th. During the first session, participants will choose  a partner and together they will plan a session on a topic. Between sessions the pair will plan a 1-hour session on their topic for a particular audience of their choice. During the second and third sessions, each pair will have the opportunity to present 15 minutes of their session to the rest of the group, which will provide a safe option to try out one way to present their topic. The members will give and receive constructive feedback in this supportive atmosphere.

Participants will need to attend all three sessions. If you are interested but the dates are impossible for you, please let us know, we may change the dates or run the course at a different time. This will be a closed group for a maximum of 8 people. This is a great opportunity to develop your presentation and workshop skills, helping us to increase other organisations’ understanding of climate change and carbon reduction.

Please contact Bev Sedley if you are interested.
