On Sunday, we will hold intensive advocacy skills training workshops which have been designed specifically for this programme. Advocates will gain experience in public speaking and telling their personal stories; some videos will be produced and posted on our website. Please note: If you attended the 1st ED MBC Advocacy Conference in June 2017 you are not eligible for this training course. Conference participants will be selected on a competitive basis.
