The first NCCPE newsletter of 2014 has been circulated, and I thought I would share the latest news/updates with you all!
FREE Engagement Training
The NCCPE are collaborating with Universities UK week to offer three free training days for those people who want to develop their public engagement skills. There is a choice of sessions for those that are beginners and those that are more experiences engagers. These days provide the perfect opportunity to learn more about Universities UK week and enhance your skills.
The events will take place in Bristol (18th February), London (4th March) and Manchester (11th March). Places are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment – you can book your place here.
