Who should join?

This course is perfect for managers, campaigners, fundraisers, digital producers  developers and others involved in planning and implementing campaigns via digital channels (in agencies, NGOs, government, as consultants or independently).

It is designed primarily for people in or working with medium to large NGOs that need to do public campaigning. This is reflected in the examples, case studies and emphasis on specific models. However the principles and practices are applicable to many other scenarios.
