TRAINING
Soon... Please be patient.
NATIONAL WORKING GROUPS

A key part of the DEMHIST strategy is to encourage and support national groups to provide more easily accessible activities that are relevant to members in those locations, and to increase membership. Our National Groups continue to grow in strength and we now have active groups in Italy, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey and in Israel.
