Attendance is free, though registration is required. Applications are due on or before 27 June. The number of participants is limited.

The organisers will provide for a transfer from Minsk, catering and accommodation; they shall also reimburse non-resident participants’ expenses on travel to Minsk. The selected participants will be made aware about all organisational matters upon confirmation of their attendance.

This is going to be the third and final workshop in a cycle of events for regional activists. The Big Start for Young Organisations and Initiatives and Effective Communications: Eloquence and Discussion on Cycling Topics workshops have been held before.
