At #WednesdaysWeekly we invite guest speakers from local organisations, services, charities and voluntary groups to share updates and presentations on topics we think you'll want to know about. Sessions are online, on Wednesdays, and include an input followed by a Q&A or discussion on the topic.
#WednesdaysWeekly is open to anyone working to support and strengthen communities in Oldham, Rochdale or Tameside. The sessions are online and free to attend, you just need to register on the event page.
We record most #WednesdaysWeekly sessions so even if you miss one you can watch back on our YouTube channel.
We're always looking for speakers! If you'd like to host a #WednesdaysWeekly, contact us on development@actiontogether.org.uk

Virtual Facilitation Toolkit!
In this series of #WednesdaysWeekly sessions, Action Together shared some of the platforms and methods in our virtual facilitation toolkit which help make meetings more engaging and collaborative. Each week we explored a different free virtual tool, when and how it can be useful in meetings or workshops, and gave attendees a chance to try it out and ask questions. To catch up on The Virtual Facilitation Toolbox sessions, you can find the links for each session and some useful resources here.
