Since 2012 women across Ireland have participated in our INSPIRE Campaign schools. This was the start or continuation of a journey for many of today’s local councillors, TD’s, Senators and MEPs.

Many local councillors, senators, MEPs and TDs have taken part in our training during recent years. Listen to what Maria Walsh, MEP, has to say about her experience of training with Women for Election and read more Inspiring Stories from other graduates.
As a participant, you will work with experts who will help demystify politics and show you the nuts and bolts of ‘getting in’.
You will work to develop your skills in campaigns management, developing your communication plans and building confidence in how to navigate the challenges of political life.
You’ll also get to meet other women who are starting out on their political journey and to share experiences and insights that will help equip you for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
You will complete the training with the tools and direction to take your next step on your political journey. We will endeavour to assist with any follow up support you may need and there will be plenty of opportunities to engage in follow on Master Classes and networking events.
Our Master Classes deliver practical sessions that empower you with a “toolbox” that will aid and support you on your political journey.
