to gain practical skills in advocacy. The program will progress through the
many aspects of effectively advocating for change: from leading and inspiring
a group of like-minded individuals to collecting and using effective data,
creating an overall message, and communicating that message to the
appropriate audiences. Workshops will be run by experts in their respective
fields. There is a small fee for Workshop registration. Spaces are limited
for the workshop and accordingly we ask that all participants attend the
entire day, along with the Friday Symposium. <span></span></span></p>
