The Canadian School of Peacebuilding is very excited that you are interested in attending this upcoming June!

Unfortunately, we do not have scholarships, student sponsorships or travel subsidies available this year, though we hope this will be a possibility in the future. I hope you are able to find alternate sources of funding and that you will be able to join us at the CSOP this summer.

Feel free to be in touch if you have any other questions or if I can be of further assistance.

This program is quite an important one but our major challenge especially the developing world is the issue of funding for such.My participation is guaranteed as long as our organization finds enough funds for us to do so.

No, the Canadian School of Peacebuilding is not restricted to Canadians. The vision of this school is to create a respectful gathering place for dissimilar peacebuilders from around the world. We are creating a space where practitioners and students of peace from many different contexts and traditions can come to learn collaboratively about peace. We already have applications from people in several different countries and are connected with people in over 60 different countries. - Valerie
