Date: Friday 10 May, 11.00am -1.00pm 

Location: Online Via Zoom 

IDEA will host an online Local/EU Elections Advocacy Workshop for our members at the above date and time.  This will focus on presenting our Local/EU Elections Advocacy Brief to members and allowing space for questions and answers and role-playing scenarios in which members might use the brief to advocate GCE priorities with election candidates and canvassers. 

The Local/EU Elections Advocacy Brief is one of the tools in the IDEA Advocacy Toolkit, which some members were involved in shaping at our 07 February 2024 online workshop. It contains tailored advocacy messaging, asks, opportunities and suggested actions. It will be sent in advance of the workshop and participants are strongly encouraged to read and reflect on the Brief before the workshop, and bring any questions they may have. 

With the 2024 local/EU elections campaign in full swing, and countdown to 07 June, don’t miss this opportunity to prepare for and better execute your planned elections advocacy. 

Target audience: Primarily this is aimed at IDEA members that are actively planning to carry out advocacy activities during the 2024 local/EU elections campaign and would appreciate guidance on messaging, asks and strategic opportunities. However, all IDEA members are welcome to participate. 

The main content of the workshop will be covered in 90 minutes, but we are scheduling an extra 30 minutes at the beginning to give members an opportunity to meet and greet our new Policy and Advocacy Manager, Leigh Brady and vice versa. Leigh is looking forward to it! 

The deadline for registration is 09 May.
