Non Violent Direct Training

Increasing numbers of community groups and local residents are ringing up local EF! activists asking for help with campaigns. Rather than parachuting in a small, already overstretched ‘rentamob’, we need to be able to pass on our skills and experiences to other groups. There are skills involved in training people in direct action, so a proposal was made at the EF! national gathering that we set up a network of people wanting to run direct action training workshops, and share methods and ideas with each other. If you are interested in being a direct action trainer or are already experienced contact Non Violent Direct Training c/o Manchester EF! or ring Tanya on (0161) 248 5043
