FYI:
There are some funding opportunities available for Asian participants in Communication Rights activities.
Best, Laurent
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE:
The Church Development Service (EED), Germany, has generously granted funds for the facilitation of participants to CRIS related activities. The CRIS campaign is glad to inform you that it will be able to co-sponsor some delegates to events that we feel are key to the Communication Rights.
In accordance with the CRIS Campaign strategy for 2005, the grants will support individuals to attend global meetings and CRIS Campaign working meetings. The amounts are not provided to cover the whole costs, so applicants may have to cover some of the traveling costs.
The aim will be to both develop a team of expert correspondents who could inform progress on communication rights related issues in depths as well as providing opportunities to consolidate the capacity of the campaign through internal working meetings.
Currently, we are looking to support applicants wishing to be CRIS correspondents to attend the WSIS ASIA meetings to be held in Tehran from 29th May to 2d June. The amount allocated for the grant is Euro 750. Deadline for application is 29th April, all efforts will be made to provide responses during that week.
