 Training
London Citizens offers a schedule of two and five-day
training courses aimed at developing communication, personal
leadership and team building skills.
The training develops the skills necessary to be an effective
community leader, and is suited to people who are new to community organising as well as those
with many years of experience. The course syllabus includes:
- new leadership techniques
- how to connect faith and values to practical action
- the role that power and self-interest play in holding
a group together and making the world work
- an introduction to a campaigning methodology that helps
strengthen your organisation and gain recognition and
dignity for you, your family and community.
Learning is through role play, formal lectures,
video, and group discussion. The tutors are all experienced
community organisers working in different parts of the city.
Previous attendees have been of various ages, from teenagers to pensioners. They
include people from Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jewish and Hindu
congregations, and from local trade union branches, student
groups, tenants organisations, and community centres. The
diversity of attendees makes the training even more valuable.
Summer Academy
The London Citizens Summer Academy is a full time placement for four weeks in July and includes a two day training course.
During this period you will become actively involved in campaigns including Living Wage in the Hotel and Hospitality industry in West London or the City Safe Campaign in East London. |
