Dear Friend,

As part of our mission to protect and defend the right to life, we are seeking to equip the next generation of pro-life leaders in Ireland.

We are emailing to invite you become part of the next generation of pro-life leaders in Ireland!

Applications are now open for the next edition of the Future Leaders Programme, commencing on Monday 26th September at 7pm. There will be a combination of online and in person events, a day-long studio programme in Dublin, and a trip to Leinster House.

The course is designed specifically for the next generation of pro-life leaders, and students/young adults can apply for a free place on the 8 week course here ([link removed]) (deadline is Friday 16th September).

Over 90 young pro-life leaders from across Ireland have already completed the course and up-skilled their pro-life credentials.

The programme imparts crucial skills that enables participants to become proactive, organised and to enhance their personal effectiveness as leaders, communicators and activists in the cause of protecting life.

After completing this course, delegates will be equipped with the competence, arguments and motivation to promote the pro-life vision in the public square. They will:
* Understand the legal and medical realities surrounding the protection of life in Ireland and the EU
* Appreciate the challenges faced by parents with an unplanned pregnancy and be aware of the supports available to them
* Be capable of developing logically sound and emotionally compelling arguments aimed at promoting the right to life
* Be capable of using both traditional and social media to promote the pro-life message efficiently and effectively
* Have experience of debating the pro-life issue in a television or radio studio
* Understand the Irish and EU political systems and ways that individuals and groups can influence them
* Have an enjoyable experience and create new friendships with those who share the same respect for the right to life

The course content will be delivered by Irish and international experts from fields of philosophy, law, medicine and support for women in unplanned pregnancies. Previous participants have said the following:
"100% do this course! If you are a young person in college or in the workplace, this is for you! Such a great way to learn, keep up to date and meet new people. I have reclaimed the most amazing arguments that had slipped from my memory and learned a million more. Facts and stories, you can't beat it." ()
"DO IT!! It is an amazing course. You get to expand your knowledge, improve your skills and meet so many other amazing pro life people. If I could do it all over again I would!" ()
"Definitely go for it, as it will provide you with the essential knowledge and tools you need to be an educated, effective pro-life advocate whether privately in one-on-one conversations or in a more public setting." ()

If you are aged between 18-35 and wish to apply to participate, please complete this application form ([link removed]) by Friday 16th September, and we will get back to you. If you know someone who might benefit from this course please forward this email to them.

There are 15 sponsored places available for suitable participants.
