Regional Workshops Help You Prepare

Pre-TISL Regional Workshops give experienced delegates a chance to renew friendships and dust off their parliamentary skills. New delegates can learn about bill writing, parliamentary procedure and running for TISL office. Each workshop culminates with a mock session.

Workshops are free, and all students are invited, even if they won't be attending TISL.
