Leadership Training – Book Soon !!!

TRAINING LEADERS FOR ACTION

Friday 6^th – Sunday 8^th March 2009 in Manchester

A unique opportunity to learn from Greg Galluzzo of the Gamaliel organisation. Greg trained Barack Obama as a community organiser. Obama has since gone on to use some of the techniques you will learn to make history.

CHANGEMAKERS is about developing the capacity of local people to take part effectively in public life in Manchester, and training is key to that aim. The training that we run challenges people to put their passion and energy at the service of their community – it is about developing our power and our ability to act effectively together.

The training is for those:

· wanting to play a more active role in their organization, community group, school, congregation, or trade union

· keen to develop their leadership skills and those of others

· interested in understanding how to make an organisation more effective and inclusive

· inquisitive about who makes the decisions which impact on our lives, our families, our organisations and how we can influence those decisions

· eager to learn better ‘people’ skills and how to work as a team

· willing to work for the things they believe in

The training teaches:

· new leadership techniques

· how to connect your faith and values to practical action

· the role that power and self-interest have in holding a group together and in making the world work
