Applications are open until 9th September. Here are the basics: * Participants will receive training from expert mentors on everything from campaign strategy to the economics of the crisis. * Each organisation brings one of their campaigns to work on during the programme * We are looking for 10 pairs of campaigners from 10 organisations from a mixture of NGOs, Trade Unions, Faith Groups and grass roots groups The forerunner to this programme had over 90 applicants from which we chose 19 campaigners including 38 Degrees, Unite, The Quakers and more. Here's what one of these participants says about the course: "The mentoring course was one of the best experiences of my life! The people I met, the campaign strategy sessions, the useful insights into communications and framing, were exactly what I needed. It provided both practical support and a chance to think deeply with others about the theory behind our campaigning."
