Global South actors' tickets
In line with this year's theme, we are striving to make the 2020 edition of the GeOnG as inclusive as possible by making as much of the forum as possible open to the people who might least have been able to access it otherwise.
To this end, we have reserved a certain number of "Participants - advanced tickets (with 2 workshops)" for actors of the Global South and intend to make them available free of charge.
As a Global South actor, if you wish to benefit from the advanced ticket for free, you will first need to submit a request via a form. Once your request is granted, you'll receive a discount code with which you'll be able to register. See you soon!
