Unpacking Local Politics – FREE Course This course will be delivered over 3 half days and will provide an in depth insight into the main political parties in the North. If you are interested in local politics, policy making, community relations, community development or history this course could be for you. The course provides participants with opportunities to hear from representatives of each party that make up the Northern Ireland Executive in a very unique format. Each encounter will be followed by a short dialogue session which allows you to ask questions of the party representative and seeks to enhance your own understanding of each of the parties. Each party representative will explore some or all of the following areas in their presentations: - • Origins of the party • Historical development, culture and ethos of the party • Internal structures & decision making processes within the party • Positions and opinions of the party on key policy areas • Contribution to politics in Northern Ireland. • Future challenges and opportunities for the party • ....and anything else you ask of them.
