The Youth LACIGF Organising Committee is preparing the second edition of the Open Course (Spanish).
Keeping in mind that the ongoing situation of the pandemic creates “Zoom tiredness”, we have developed a shorter version of our course, in order to maintain people engaged and motivated, as well as create capacity-building tools so the entire community can take advantage of the knowledge and expertise we have. We are the youth empowering the youth!
This Open Course will be divided into 4 webinars, covering main topics of interest for young people.
Requirements for enrolling:
-Less than 30 years old by the time of enrolment
-Residence in Latin America and the Caribbean
-Good Internet connection and availability to take the course between July 15th and August 28th.
Sign up in advance to be part of the Open Course. The best participants will become the YouthLACIGF Ambassadors 2021.
Recordings and useful material will be accessible at the Youth LACIGF educational platform [link available by July 15th, 2021].
