Regional Training Workshops

Join us at the 2012 Amnesty Regional Training Workshops

Please note, if you are planning to come along to the Annual Meeting, you do not need to register seperately, you can indicate your attendance of the Training Workshop on your Annual Meeting Registration form.

We are hosting a series of practical training regional workshops for existing Amnesty members plus interested members of the public who would like to become more involved with our campaigns.

The first training day is now confirmed for Auckland on May 13. This day follows our Annual Meeting on May 12th. Dates for other centres will be confirmed shortly.

The latest agenda is downloadable here and gives the flavour of the day at other regional workshops:

• Amnesty’s role in the NZ Child Poverty Debate

Explore how and why AIANZ needs to engage on Child Poverty issues in New Zealand.

• Becoming an Amnesty activist – what level of activity suits you?

A workshop for those new to Amnesty looking to become more actively involved. A chance to discuss the activism options that AIANZ offers and how you can join in.

• How to build and maintain strong teams

A workshop for those already within teams. Strategies for attracting and keeping members within teams and ensuring that we meet our aspirations for a life-long membership with Amnesty.

• Making a big impact with Freedom Challenge
