Apply for a reduced-price workshop place

PoliSync offers four different types of discounts:

  1. Full discount (Scholarship): 5 places in each workshop

    We offer 5 fully discounted places (zero participant fee) in each of our 2023 workshops. Participants who meet the following criteria can apply:

    • Asylum seekers, refugees, migrants in immigration detention & internally displaced persons

    • Registered non-profit organisations, governments or subnational governments (city/regional actors) located in low & middle-low income countries

    • Organisations that defend minority groups or migrants & organisations of indigenous peoples

    • Students enrolled in universities in low & middle-low income countries

    A PoliSync committee assesses all applications & awards the discounted places. Spaces are limited - not all applicants who apply are awarded the full discount.

  2. Partial discount: participants residing in low - upper-middle income countries

    We also offer tiered pricing for all applicants (partial discounts), based on the income level of participants’ country of residence. We use the World Bank’s country classification by income. Proof of country of residence is required.
