Radio Silence

Apologies for the delay between my last blog post and this - there's been a lot happening in the last couple of weeks. My partner and I had our civil partnership ceremony just over a week ago, followed by a lovely weekend in Yorkshire. On top of this I've job hunting in earnest with a string of interviews lined up.

So back to the advocacy work.

My role as a co-ordinator for WAGGGS post-2015 volunteers has started. We had a great conference call with the whole group last week, planning our objectives and work over the coming weeks and months. My person goal is to get plenty more votes, especially from the UK, on the MyWorld platform. It takes just 5 minutes, and you can really have your voice heard in the future development agenda! Do it today!

And I'm also preparing to go to Italy next week with the UKYCC. We'll be running a workshop on climate change and the EU climate strategy - hopefully inspiring a group of young Italians to become environmental activists, creating change in their communities. My training in Guiding is coming in very useful in the ability to take topics and learning objectives, and turning them into fun activities.

I'll be back later in the week with an update on both of these!
