PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The cross-cultural campaigning explores the intercultural dynamics within teams and how best to apply them to the advocacy and campaign work externally.
Using interactive online tools, participants work on a live project together and are guided to discover personal and inter-personal leadership skills. This skills are then woven into applying them to advocacy and campaign strategy that engages multicultural audiences.
This program is designed for teams and organisations to complete together, ensuring that new practices are applied holistically. Because it follows a peer-learning model, it is not open to individual applicants and is reserved exclusively for groups and organisations.
The program is free for environmental not-for-profits and there is fee for service for other groups.
