The profile for those eligible to apply is as follows:

For Volunteers:

·      They must not have taken part in any previous Global Changemakers summits

(If you were selected for a previous summit but were unable to attend, and if you meet the criteria above, you may reapply for this specific summit.)

For Facilitators:

Also, the summit is looking at recruiting ten peer facilitators – who must have taken part in a Global Changemakers summit, but they needn’t be from the two regions specified. If you’re interested in becoming a peer facilitator for the event, haven’t taken part in one of the previous summits as a peer facilitator and are aged 18-25 on the first day of the summit, you can apply here:

Deadline is Sunday, 19 February 2011. Please spread the word!

NOTE: As the website has been fighting with the increased number of visitors since yesterday, the organisers have their web developers looking into ways of increasing the site’s stability.

British Council will cover all costs (i.e. travel, visa, accommodation, meals, training costs) for the selected participants.
