| Bridges offers workshops
and staff training on global issues and diversity, that
can be carried out in-house. We offer a core
programme of activities for schools, colleges and community
groups and regularly advertise sessions that tackle topical
issues. We are happy to respond to specific requests and
may be able to give you details of other sources of support
or information. |
| Our workshops and training
sessions are participatory, our aim is to consider the local
relevance of global issues and, where possible, look at how
we can all make a difference to the issue tackled. |
| Before each booking is confirmed,
we will talk on the telephone or in person to help you make
the most of our visit. |
