The Advocacy and Lobbying Tool Kit
If you want to start campaigning this is the guide for you.
Dance UK has been working with a proffessional lobbyist, and as part of the free training element of the Dance Summit on 4 October 2006 we put together this free guide. We hope it will be of use to anyone putting together a proposal or working on a campaign.
It outlines political processes and lobbying tools, as well as how the creation of the Dance Manifesto can help individuals and organisations achieve their own goals.
