Module G: Programme plans.

Module H: Programme plans plus. These modules tackle an important area of Section Leadership – programme planning. The focus of these modules is looking at the concept of the Balanced Programme. Young Leaders will plan a Section meeting and then look at more long-term programme planning issues. Module G should be completed before Module H is begun.
