Build, Represent, Empower: Application Form
Build, Represent, Empower 2021 is a new intensive Leadership training taking place during October - December 2021 to support global south heritage candidates in the Green Party, and particularly those who want to stand for internal elections within the party. Candidates will be supported to design their own internal election campaign through a series of structured workshops and training during the course, and will join a peer-to-peer network to support them on their journey as a candidate.

The Deyika Fund was set up in honour of Deyika Nzeribe who was an inspiring member of the Green Party of England and Wales, and sadly died suddenly during his campaign as 2017 Green candidate for Greater Manchester Mayor. The Deyika Nzeribe Fund was set up to support the engagement, development and election of Global South heritage candidates.
