TDs 2021 – Training Weekend in Charleroi

After one year of absence, the Training Days are coming back in an in-person format. Did you miss us? We did too! 

We are sure you still know the drill: every year, we invade a city in Belgium for a weekend-long Training Days event. This year, we’re going to the Black Country, Charleroi!

You can look forward to:

– A full weekend of workshops with a variety of guest speakers.

– The space and time to shape and develop your own ideas.

– Social/networking time, including a city tour of Charleroi.

– Loads of JEF spirit to recharge your federalist batteries and feel inspired
