Activist Training and Development Working Group

Mission - The mission of the Activist Training & Development Working Group (ATDWG) is to train and support Green activists, both to develop awareness and understanding of key issues & to support and advance their ability and confidence in a wide variety of roles they may wish to take on.

This includes working to:

• Develop a strategy for integrating training and development into Green activism;
• Develop training opportunities which support and enhance Green activists' abilities to undertake any tasks or roles which they would like to fill;
• Organize training & discussion on key issues and debates which Green activists have to navigate;
• Support counties in developing locally-based trainings as desired;
• Support GPCA in building and maintaining a culture dedicated to the training and development of its activists at all levels and in as many channels as is reasonable.
