Action Through Advocacy - The Apathy Escalator

On the 19th August for the second time in less than a month I visited Hertfordshire University for an NUS training course, this one called Action Through Advocacy. It had a different atmosphere and different people from around the country than Active Political Leadership and I had a wonderful group again, it seems I have been very lucky. Dainty David (in-joke, sorry) took us on a roller coaster ride through the apathy staircase or as our group created from just some paper the apathy escalator (not environmentally friendly, sorry Pippa). It was extremely useful in helping me plan my campaigns for the year and providing an excellent framework, balanced with the fun of the evening activities which ended up with me and four others from our group driving around Hatfield for half an hour looking for the police station! It was a good week cut short by my return to Birmingham via a tour of London (I got lost driving home on Thursday night) to sit on the appointments panel for the new trustee board on Friday morning.
