One-on-one meetings with members of parliament have the potential to be highly effective in raising awareness or gaining support on an issue. The effectiveness of these meetings is determined by a number of factors.

Rarely is it exclusively the political ideology of the MP that dictates their position. In the last parliament, a number of independent senators became champions on issues as a result of intense lobbying and engagement. This training opportunity covers the principles to consider in an engagement campaign.

We're at a crucial point in the campaign to protect Victoria's forests and drawing on all elements to encourage our decision makers to create the Great Forest National Park in the Central Highlands, and the Emerald Link in East Gippsland. 

As a result this training incorporates a specific focus on the Great Forest National Park.

Join our Victorian Community Organising team for this tailored 2 hour training from 6 - 8pm on Wednesday 15 March 2017.
