EQUIP Campaign School

The next EQUIP Campaign School starts 22nd April 2023

Are you a woman getting ready to run in the Local or General Elections in 2024 or 2025?

If you are looking to run, rerun, or be a campaign manager for someone, then look no further than the Women for Election EQUIP Campaign School. Delivered over three days across January, March and April, this intensive and engaging training programme will build on your skills and knowledge to get you ready for the campaign trail.

What to expect

EQUIP has been informed and designed with women’s experience of running for election in mind, and is delivered by trainers with decades of experience in Ireland’s political landscape.

Over the course of the three workshops, you will get a chance to practice your public speaking skills, receive media training, plan and strategise for your campaign, and be given information on how to finance your campaign, as well as getting the chance to network with women from across the country. Each day, we will hear from a keynote speaker who will share wisdom and inspiration on running for election.
