The session will consist of a workshop of 1.5 hours, followed by an open Q&A session to answer specific audience engagement questions relating to your application.
ADDED VALUE OFFERING - Offered as a bonus is a one-on-one 30 minute free consultation with Pablo to discuss the specifics of your audience engagement and/or grant application. This will take place outside of the session.
