Come to our training day on Saturday, September 12, 2015, 10am-5pm at Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, London N7 6PA
Viva! speakers needed! Schools want you to give veggie talks! Most teenagers detest animal cruelty and the trashing of our planet and want to make a difference – they need someone to open their eyes as to how. That someone could be you. Viva! volunteers give school talks all over the UK, are trained by us and love it, saying it’s one of the most enjoyable things they’ve ever done. Come to our School Speaker’s Training Day and we’ll show you how to help teenagers understand that being veggie saves animal, the planet and our health. This fun, informal day is run by Viva!’s
founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, and is packed with information that you can take away with you. Many school’s like a cookery demo so we’ll walk you through that, too – but it’s your choice if you want to give one. We promise you’ll leave inspired and rarin’ to go. Terry Woods is an awesome Viva! school speaker who will help to train you: “I have given many talks for Viva! because the kids have such positive energy – they really enjoy hearing about vegetarianism and animals. They also love making vegan food! I get them to help and they always devour the
fruits of their labour!” Bea Mehta is another of our fabulous speakers: “I was nervous at first but Viva!s training day was helpful and inspiring. Now I talk in lots of local schools. Believe me, it’s fun and hugely rewarding.” Everyone is welcome so don’t be shy.

Get cooking
for Viva! – for free No experience necessary! Viva! needs more cookery demonstrators all across the UK! Forget all that Master Chef stuff, all you need to do is learn to cook one simple dish. Good preparation plus a bit of basic kit and you’re in the demonstrating business. Even if you hate cooking we can still turn you into a demonstrator with super, no-cook dishes, such as the Buddha Bowl gourmet super salad – a huge hit amongst audiences. The vegan movement is growing rapidly and demos are crucial to show just how delicious and easy vegan cooking can be.
Local Viva! groups are in particular need of people who can offer a demo for their events. They are popular and well attended and there may be one in your area. Helen Wilson and Jane Easton, Viva! stalwarts, cookery demonstrators and food partners in crime, will share their skills with you and teach you how to demonstrate on a free, one-day fun course! We’d love to see you in London on September 19. Venue is also Resource for London. If you’re on a very low income, travel grants can be arranged.
