About NCADC's Train-the-Trainer project |
 The National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns (NCADC) gives advice and support about anti-deportation campaigns, raises public awareness of the effects of inhumane and unjust immigration policy, and lobbies for change.
In 2005, NCADC started giving workshops on how to set up an anti-deportation campaign which has helped enable communities to build up their own capacity to establish campaigns. Over 1,500 people have attended the NCADC workshops - many new campaigns have been established and the "community of resistance" has swelled as a result.
But it's still not nearly enough to meet the needs of those facing deportation who need advice about establishing anti-deportation campaigns.
With help from Barrow Cadbury , NCADC set up the "Train-the-Trainer" project to train and support people to hold their own anti-deportation campaign workshops in their communities. Train-the-Trainer is multiplying the benefits of the workshops by increasing capacity within the communities. The Train-the-Trainer seminar programme has been developed by an Advisory Panel of experienced campaigners.

"NCADC's workshop helped me establish my own anti-deportation campaign. Train-the-Trainer will mean more workshops are held around the country. I want to use my time and experience by helping others to set up their own campaigns, especially within the Pakistani community in Manchester. So I'm going to become a "trainer" by attending a Train-the-Trainer seminar."

.
We are currently also trying to raise the funds to bring more new seminars to other cities where there is a demand, in addition to running follow-on development seminars for the cities that have already had one seminar, but until we have been granted more substantial funding, we cannot schedule this in. Please watch this space for updates on this and email if you would like to bring a seminar to your area. If there is enough demand and we are successful in our bid for more substantial funding, then we will put it on our proposed schedule for 2010.
Please watch this space...
