On Wednesday (18 February), I attended the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) Annual Conference all day in London.
Luckily, my friend James (who does work experience at the same place as me) came with me too, and we represented our organisation - Trailblazers / the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. After the keynote address by Vince Cable MP (a famous politician from the Liberal Democrats party), James and we decided to the day into spilt 2 workshops each since that I way we could attend a total of 4 workshops during the day, so we’d make the most of the conference.
The 2 workshops I attended were: “AM6: What is the future of campaigning in civil society?” in the morning, and “PM5: Exploring international collaboration” in the afternoon. Both these workshops were really good and highly informative, lots of ideas I can implement with my work experience and with my own organisation I plan to hopefully start one day!
Overall, it was a very unique and interesting experience that I’ll long remember…
