We believe you would value the discussions and debates - and gather the ideas you are looking for to make a difference, as well as build an international network of people that can help you achieve your goal.We have a limited number of grants to assist with travel costs, so please apply to Kirstie Hepburn, kirstie.hepburn@theexperiencecorp.com. There are criteria to fulfil for the grants. Please note: we are trying to help as many individuals as possible, so priority will be given to that those that can secure some funding from their organisation.
