Getting involved
The giving and allocating of money for scholarships and work/study
positions is a Worldwork project that is continually evolving.
As organisers we are continuing to learn and grow in relationship
to economics, education and social justice. The scholarship policy
is fluid and develops based on feedback from previous participants.
Thanks to everyone who has helped to create it.
In
order to make the seminar accessible to as many people as possible
from all over the world, between one third to one half of the
participants receive some kind of financial assistance. This
may be in the form of scholarships to reduce tuition fees, or
work/study exchanges which enable participants to engage in the
work of the seminar at a reduced fee.
Our scholarship fund is maintained through the generosity of
participants and other friends of Worldwork. This money is allocated
for those needing help with lodging and expenses. We are thankful
to all those who have been able to contribute to the fund and
we welcome new donations. Donations are tax deductible.
The GPI and
local Worldwork team are working with different foundations,
businesses and government agencies to secure financial support
for this unique Worldwork facilitation training and gathering.
Related projects include our direct involvement in co-ordination
facilitation and leadership to create sustainable communities
locally, nationally and internationally. We also work to establish
mutually beneficial relationships with other organisations and
the people in them – this is another way in which the Worldwork
process can happen.
Some 30 Participants of Worldwork 2008 in London were
supported by Grundtvig Funding -
part of European Commission’s Life Long
Learning Programme! Additionally to the Grundtvig
funding about 160 people received some form of scholarship ranging
from full to partial bursaries. Worldwork was supported by number
of private donors in the UK and from Europe, and by many contributions
in kind.
