People-powered campaigning communities Uplift and Act Now present this year’s Upskill Academy training series called Uproot – Campaigning 101. Uproot is a series of online campaign workshops designed to help community leaders grow their campaign and leadership skills.
Over the 5-week course, you will learn how to design a great campaign plan, create core messaging to frame your campaign goals and use the digital tools readily available that can make it all happen. As well as this, you will learn to hone and harness what drives you as a leader.
Uproot will be run virtually over Zoom. Beginning on October 5th, 2022 and running for 5 weeks, participants will meet for two hours between 6pm-8pm on Wednesday evening. It will be highly interactive and will build on participants’ experiences.
