FUTURECLLR Programme

Do you want to have a say in and give back to your local community?

​

The FUTURECLLR programme seeks to give individuals interested in pursuing a career in politics the chance to engage as a Councillor in a structured training programme, express their local area's best interests and address under-representation challenges. Our programme assumes no prior knowledge of politics.

​

​

 

​ The programme structure involves three parts:

• Masterclasses – Delivered over three months by experts on topics relevant to understanding the role of councils and councillors 

• Events – Meet with senior campaigners and councillors, helping bring knowledge to life through practical experience

• Coaching – Provided to participants on a one-to-one basis during and after the programme

 

The programme will also allow you to benefit from our MasterClasses, which involves a 2-hour session every week over a 4 week period. Weekly sessions include:​

1. The role of a Councillor 

2. What is Local Government 

3. Getting Selected

4. Getting Elected 

​​

Participants will also benefit from 3 mentoring sessions during the beginning, middle and end of the programme. ​

​

For 2020 and early 2021, we will be running an accelerated programme, focusing on the MasterClass elements, and delivered in a one day workshop.
