I Love Migrants
The I Love Migrants campaign has been launched as we approach the general election. The t-shirts, Jute bags and badges are all selling fast. The launch will take place at the Foundry in east London on April 29 with JCWI policy director Hina Majid speaking alongside economist Philippe Legrain and ULU president elect Clare Solomon. Vist the website, join the Facebook group and follow us on Twitter for more information.
New Training Programme
JCWI will publish the new training programme in April 2010 in which all courses held between May and the following January will be made available. The website will be updated accordingly. We will not be able to offer training dates for this period before April by telephone.
