IMS Training Days

LYMEC is happy to introduce our first IMS Training Days, a capacity building event aimed exclusively at our individual members!

After having consulted the individual members we have put together a programme targeting the skills in highest demand within the section: advocacy, social media and project management. The event is the perfect opportunity for newcomers in politics to learn the basics and for those with intermediate experience to extend and develop their knowledge further.

There is no participation fee, and LYMEC will arrange the accommodation for two nights and meals for the participants during the event in Brussels. The participants are requested to participate in the full length of the programme, starting Friday afternoon December 8 and running through all of Saturday. Return travel is foreseen on Sunday, December 10th.

The event is a great opportunity not only to develop your skills, but also to meet other young liberals from across Europe and expand your network within the young liberal family.

Spots are distributed on a first come, first served basis with priority given to newcomers within LYMEC.

Register by filling out the registration form (NB! You must be logged in to register!) by Sunday, November 26th (NB! Deadline extended!). Do not proceed with booking your travels until you have received a confirmation of your participation!

In case you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the LYMEC office (office(at)lymec.eu)
