On Saturday 3 & 4, Queensland BZE Coordinator Emma Carton and National BZE Coordinators James Bramwell and Pablo Brait were in Brisbane delivering public engagement training to 15 enthusiastic and intelligent BZE volunteers. The training enables volunteers to get an in-depth understanding of the ZCA Stationary Energy Plan and to learn how to communicate the key messages. Many of these trainees will go on to become ambassadors through BZE's talks program.

Special thanks to Ngaire McGaw, Dorotee Braun, Jon Watson and Reanna Willis for helping make the weekend such a success.
