PB Unit rolling out masterclasses
Last year, the PBU piloted three masterclasses looking at how PB can be developed in the current economic and political climate.
Due to the success of the pilot masterclasses, we're pleased to announce that we're rolling out the masterclasses. We will hold monthly masterclasses on different themes, rotating these on a periodical basis.
We're also offering the opportunity to host masterclasses in other regions. We recognise that Manchester isn't accessible to all parts of the country. If you can provide a venue and refreshments, we will deliver the training and offer two free places to the host organisation. The focus of the masterclass can also be determined by the host organisation.
All our upcoming masterclasses will be publicised in the events section on the website. The next ones planned are:
16th February - An introduction to PB
7th March - PB in social housing and development
17th April - PB in neighbourhoods
15th May - Whole of area PB and commissioning
All the masterclasses are held in central Manchester, close to both Piccadilly and Victoria train stations.
