What people are saying about this training programme
I want to express my appreciation for the Policy Engagement Training session. It was well-structured, engaging, and highly informative. The contents were highly relevant and delivered effectively, providing practical steps to policy engagement. I particularly found the wealth of experience you brought, case studies, real-world applications, and interviews with top organisations very valuable. It provided practical insights that I can apply to my research. Additionally, the comprehensive materials and interactive group sessions contributed to an enriching learning experience. I will be going back to the materials as I craft a policy brief from my research.
