SIXTY 'TWILIGHT' SESSIONS

Tacade will be holding SIXTY FREE 'Twilight' sessions (from 4.30 - 6.00 pm), aimed at teachers and youth workers, during 2007/2008. These will be facilitated by Tacade staff and will provide participants with a detailed analysis of the resources. If you are an Education Adviser or a Principal Youth Officer and can arrange a venue and up to 25 participants then you can apply to host a 'Twilight' session. It would be excellent if the session had a 'mix' of school and youth work backgrounds. To apply to host a 'Twilight' please ring 0161 836 6850.
