Participants are guided through the workshop presentation with example EBE projects, and an EBE Project Toolkit on Miro containing worksheets.
10 participants join a 4-week programme. Two group sessions, with a week of independent learning in the middle of the programme.
Group sessions with breakouts and peer reviews. Participants share progress, give feedback and develop their EBE projects.
Join us for the 4-week Project Planning Course specifically designed for migrant-focused organisations that wish to engage with EBEs within the sector and develop a project that includes people with lived experience.
By the end of this course, you will be able to develop and run an Experts by Experience project from start to finish. Your project might involve setting up an EBE group, recruiting people with lived experience into trustee roles or something else your organisation identifies during the course.

"The template was extremely useful and was a very good starting point, and enabled me to thoroughly plan the project, and have a very accessible plan at the end which could be shared with colleagues or funders. The discussions with other similar organisations was also very helpful, just having the space to talk through ideas and find out how other projects were being delivered/designed."

"The practical planning tools were very useful. Being in a group together makes me feel more accountable and focused." - Participant
"The EBE Project Planning Course was exactly what we needed to help us take the next steps with our strategic aim to create a lived experience advisory group as part of our governance structure. It supported our thinking, helped us to design the group in a thoughtful and intentional way, and has kept us accountable to making it happen. We're really grateful to have received the support!" - Routes Collective
Everyone in the cohort develops their own project by working through the EBE Project Toolkit on Miro. Miro is a collaborative white-boarding tool. The worksheets contain prompts to help you develop your project. There are 4 worksheets, each covering a different phase:
