Funding opportunities
We explicitly encourage small political groups and associations without their own resources to get in touch with us – we can certainly find a way to make the workshop possible!
At the same time, there are several ways to fund specific awareness workshops or consultations. The following list is constantly growing. Please let us know if you know of any other points of contact.
