A leadership course for people leading refugee communities across the North East. Learn to advocate, run campaigns and lead others, so your community’s experience shapes the decisions that affect it.
Refugee community leaders already carry deep knowledge of what their communities face. Leaders Can Change gives them the tools to turn that knowledge into influence: speaking up with evidence, organising campaigns that win, and building teams that last. You don’t need a title or a qualification. If people in your community come to you for help, information or a voice, this course is for you.
At Dialogue Fosters, we believe real change happens with real stories. The course starts from what participants already know and builds the skills to put it to work with councils, services and decision-makers.
Each strand builds on the one before. By the end, you’ll have a real advocacy or campaign plan for an issue your community faces.
Understand who makes decisions and how. Tell your community’s story with evidence, and prepare for meetings with officials, councillors and service providers.
Choose a clear, winnable goal and plan a campaign step by step. Build alliances, mobilise people and use media and social media safely.
Lead with your own values and story. Facilitate dialogue, handle conflict, build a team that lasts and look after yourself as a leader.
Participants finish the course with a practical advocacy or campaign plan, connections to other community leaders, and the skills to speak up for their communities with confidence.
