We’ve got lots of workshops and courses lined up for the first few months of 2016. If one of your new year’s resolutions is too learn something new, why not take a look through the courses below and see if anything takes your fancy.
For some of our courses, there is a cost to attend. We invest any surplus from these courses back into the organisation, which enables social entrepreneurs to attend our longer duration programmes either free or at least at a heavily reduced fee.
