We aim for a highly diverse group. We want to bring together activists for climate and social justice movements together with organisational change agents, participants from North and South, East and West. To make this possible we rely on those who can currently afford it to pay a little extra and subsidize those who are not so privileged. </p><p>This course is the equivalent of a full two-days seminar. To find a price reference please compare it to two-day courses in professional facilitation, coaching, scrum master,  etc. </p>
