You are: wanting to share your skills with others involved in activism and
campaigning, and willing to pass on your experiences.

We are: a small group of activists who have given a number and variety of
trainings over the last years.

We are aiming to provide a series of "Train the Trainer" style days for
people who want to find ways to improve how we work together as activists.
People who come on these days can then take skills back to their various
groups & communities and organise further trainings.
