Dear Worldwork Community,

We have some very unfortunate news with regard to Worldwork 2020. We have decided to cancel the Worldwork2020 Musqueam territory event due to the Corona Virus being declared uncontainable by the World Health Organization. 

As you may know, organizing Worldwork is a labor of love based on a vision for community, awareness and a making the world a friendlier place for more people and communities. We are saddened by this loss as well. We will miss having this time of learning and connecting with you. And we will miss the opportunity to work on the issues of the world with you. We know too that this dream will continue to live on in many of our other world and community efforts.

If you have already registered for the conference we will be in touch with you about refunding your payment. Accommodation reservations at UBC can be cancelled without penalty; please contact them at: reservations@housing.ubc.ca.

We are contemplating the possibility of an online event, and will be in touch with more information. 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

The Worldwork Team

Worldwork 2020 aspires to making it possible for everyone who wishes to participate, to be able to do so. Together we make it happen, by paying the highest rate that we can each afford.

We acknowledge the systemic injustices that could contribute to a person’s economic status. We also recognize the social differences and economic disparities between different regions, individual countries but also within countries themselves. We ask that those requesting registration rates different/lower than suggested in the tuition description connect with us by email below.  In doing so, we recognize that this step requires an extra effort from those already impacted by financial challenges.  We appreciate your efforts that will support our intention and efforts to help everyone who wants to attend the event to be able to do so and ensure that our registration process is financially efficient. Therefore we have instituted the following payment policy.

Given that the various tables and economic ranking systems available (by the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, etc) do not accurately represent the financial situation of large parts of the population, the countries mentioned in the rates are indicative, and are meant to help you find the rate that corresponds to your particular life circumstances.

Worldwork 2020 is operating under the auspices of IAPOP, International Association of Process Oriented Psychology, a US based non-profit. Members associate through their shared values, vision and goals, as well as support for diversity, creativity, relationship, community building and the exciting range of research and practice within our professional community. Registration is based in US dollars due to IAPOP’s local headquarters and the relative stability of US currency.
