What other community champions have said after this training:
"It widened my understanding of how many people are working on community projects and organisations. I really liked the framework, it made me think about ways to develop change. I enjoyed the discussions about power, they gave me a better understanding about society and empowering people."
"I loved the training. I learned a lot and cannot wait to put it into practice. The listening exercise made me reflect on how I have been listening to others and sometimes not hearing them. Also, I found the power session very interesting as I can see how this translates into my community."
