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:​
-
The role of a Councillor
-
What is Local Government
-
Getting Selected
-
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.
