Stewarding Training
We have a number of Zoom sessions where we will go through various aspects of Stewarding and give you a chance to ask questions. We recommend attending Stewards General Training and we aim to run online training monthly and more frequently in the run up to big events. Signup to be a Steward on XR Action Network to hear about these sessions or keep an eye on the Movement Broadcast on Telegram.
