You’ll learn more about yourself and your values, and about how to turn ideas into action. You’ll be challenged with new ways of thinking, provocative speakers, inspiring mentors and fascinating guests.
You’ll discuss solutions to problems like poverty and climate change. You’ll learn skills in areas like media relations, issue framing, the use of story in social change work, fundraising and facilitation. You will meet people working in different areas of public policy and social change. And you’ll connect and work with people in our cities doing innovative social and environmental change work. Our goal is to equip you with the skills and tools needed to become an effective leader in movements for social and environmental change.
The sessions will be delivered by the Next Up Coordinator and by guest presenters from the Next Up Network and civil society, labour, public and business sectors.
