People & Planet can provide a wide variety of excellent training for your group. This will help you and your group to develop your skills, confidence and knowledge as campaigners.
All of the P&P training is designed to be highly interactive, and the evaluations we receive show that participants find it informative, stimulating and enjoyable.
The workshops below can also be amended and developed for your particular circumstances and interests, so do get in touch even if you can’t find exactly what you are looking for.
If you want someone from the support office to come and deliver any of the workshops below fill out the form at the bottom of the page or contact your Outreach Intern. The workshops are free but if costs can be recouped from your group budget or student union, that would be appreciated!
