This year the Organise Tent sees the arrival of the new Organising School – a cohesive programme run by the Young Organisers Network looking at the key building blocks every union activist needs to know. Suitable for first timers and seasoned veterans alike, the sessions guarantee vibrant discussion, engaging strategy and fresh ideas. There’s something for everyone!
