Very limited financial aid is available for participants. The amount is based on two criteria:
● Your family’s financial situation
● Availability of our funds  

Registration fees have to be paid via bKash.

Candidates will be critically assessed for their skills on written communication and overall performance through the application form and the final interview round.

We try our best to support the development of the youth. However, due to resource constraints, we will not be able to provide individual feedback to applicants who are not invited for the second round of assessments. If you are selected for the second round and do not make it to the final pool of selected participants, we will be happy to share with you a scanned copy of your assessment form with comments from the interview board members.

It is mandatory to attend every session to graduate from the workshop and receive the certificate. The workshop structure has been designed accordingly to build on the concepts covered in the previous sessions. The overall experience will be most valuable for you if you have attended all the sessions of the workshop.

If, due to emergencies, a participant is unable to attend any session, they will need to inform their instructor/facilitator beforehand.   

No, you will not be able to attend the workshop without registering as a participant.
