| Have you ever wondered how Government policy is actually made and how you can influence it for the better?
Then come along to The Wheel’s Lobbying Skills Free Day of Training (Thursday, 8 November, 10am-4.30pm in Portlaoise) to help improve your understanding of this sometimes tricky topic while also learning how to become a more effective policy influencer. You’ll start the day with an invaluable introduction into how government policy is actually made in Ireland and the ways in which community and voluntary organisations, charities and social enterprises on the ground can have a real and profound impact on public policy. You will also get to carry out some practical exercises, which will equip you to become a more effective policy influencer in your own community – which, when working in concert with others, can lead to significant change at the national level too. You will leave the session with: · Knowledge and understanding of how Ireland’s policy making system works in practice; · Clarity about the ways in which local community and voluntary organisations can influence policy; · A deepened understanding of how to be an effective policy influencer on behalf of their organisation and community · Hardcopy take away.
