APPLICATION FOR TRAVEL SUBSIDIES

Subject to available funding, the CCR hopes to be able to offer a certain number of travel subsidies for the above-mentioned conference.
 

To be eligible, applicants must:
 
  • represent an NGO committed to promoting refugee rights (we are using the phrase “refugee rights” to include the rights of asylum seekers and internally displaced persons).
  • have a proven commitment to working to promote refugee rights.
  • otherwise be unable to attend the conference

Priority will be given to applicants who:

  • come from the Global South
  • have been invited to present at one of the conference plenaries or workshops
  • require only partial subsidy
 

Please consider who you know who might want to take advantage of this opportunity.

To apply, please complete and return to the CCR the following form.

Please note: We do not know how much funding we will have available and in any case it will not be sufficient to allow us to fund as many participants as we would wish.  We therefore strongly encourage you to build your participation into your budget, if that is possible, or to explore other funding sources available to you.  We know that some funding sources will be easier for you to access than for us based in Canada.  If appropriate, we will be happy to support you in your application.  We also encourage organizations with means to consider sponsoring one or more NGO representatives from the Global South.
