Your free Vital Links to getting to know the Assembly
If you want to benefit from a better understanding of how the NI Assembly works, as well as more, positive, engagement with key institutions, sign up for the next Get to know the Assembly session.
The NI Assembly Community Outreach Team has been supporting NICVA's Vital Links programme for the past two years.
Vital Links aims to increase the interaction and understanding of the key institutions, the voluntary and community sector and foster and promote positive engagement.
The free course comes in four themes:
- Get to know the Assembly, in Parliament Buildings for all Belfast courses
- Making policy work for you
- Successful lobbying and campaigning
- How government departments get and spend their budgets
Over 350 people from the voluntary and community sector have participated in the training, with overwhelming feedback on the quality of information and delivery.
