Fast forward to a few months ago. I read an email from the BFAWU on my work break about a new course they were running about the political economy with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. This had become my hobby study topic during the pandemic so I was interested. I wasn’t certain if I was eligible for a place but applied anyway, hoping for the best. When I received confirmation that I'd been accepted I was extremely excited but nervous too because it was the first time I’d been on an educational course in my adult life.
As an ordinary union member, I was also concerned about my lack of experience but I needn’t have worried. When I finally met the people involved - from the course organisers to my fellow students – everyone was welcoming, encouraging and supportive.
