I read the brochure and the details on the workshops above, and they really sparked my interest. I hope to find a way to attend workshop2. Below are the details of each work shop.

Leadership Workshop II
Basics of Grass Roots LeadershipThe primary objective of the second workshop is to hone your leadership skills in grass roots and policy development as well as meeting management and parliamentary procedure.
ObjectiveThere are two objectives for the Leadership Workshop II.
Objective1: By the conclusion of the workshop, your first objective is to be the group with the greatest number of members.
Objective2: Successfully bring to, debate and adopt a policy from committee. Committee meetings will be judged.
FormatParticipants will be divided up into equal groups and given a project. Each session will build upon the previous session. For several minutes between segments, groups will have the opportunity to "mingle" with other groups. During the "mingle", participants are urged to persuade members of other groups to join theirs by demonstrating their superior talent, ideas or rational on why they think they will win the competition.
During the evening, groups are urged to meet and develop their ideas on their presentations upon conclusion of the guest speaker.
Participants will also learn how to stay informed and avenues they can use to network with each other on current issues.
