12 – 16 August 2024
UNISON Eastern, Higdon House, Kempson Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AR
Our Activist Summer School returns to Bury St Edmunds for 2024.
Held in Higdon House, our regional office, the school is a fantastic opportunity to brush up on your skills while meeting activists from across the region.
You can apply for as few or as many courses as you like as long as they don’t clash — you don’t have to come for the whole week — unless you’re doing the new stewards course!
Each day starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4.30pm and lunch is provided. If you’re coming multiple days and think you need accommodation, please speak to your branch.
