This section will explain all the different bits of information you will need to gather to successfully submit an application. We urge you to read it carefully before applying.

1. Session Contact Person

Each session should have ONE main contact person. For this section, you will need the following information for the contact person:

• Contact information: Name, mailing address, email and fax information

• Additional information: Gender, year of birth, first and second languages, organizational affiliation and position, if applicable

• Previous forum information: Has this person attended or presented previously at an AWID forum?

2. Session Information

We will ask you for the following information for this section:

• Session title (max. 20 words)

• Type of session: you will be asked to select from the list below:

  • Interactive panel

  • Skills-building workshop

  • Artistic or creative session

  • Fishbowl-style session

  • Talk show

  • Moderated debate

  • Simulation game

  • Strategy session

• Short session summary (max. 50 words)

• Session description (max. 600 words): please ensure that your session description responds to one of the Questions for the Call for Proposals.

• Regional information (which region, if any, does your proposal focus on?)

• Issue information (which issue[s] does your proposal focus on?)

• Equipment needs (flip chart, power point, DVD projector, etc.)

3. Presenter Information

Each session can have a minimum of 2 presenters and a maximum of 5. In addition to presenters, we ask that each session also have a facilitator who will ensure the session runs smoothly and who will guide audience participation. We will be asking for the following information about each presenter and facilitator:

• Contact information: Name, mailing address, email and fax information

• Additional information: Gender, year of birth, first and second languages, organizational affiliation and position

• Previous forum information: Has this person attended or presented previously at an AWID forum?

• Short biography (max. 100 words)

Note that for each presenter you will be asked whether they have confirmed their participation in your session or if they are tentative. If their participation is tentative, your will be asked the following three questions:

• Have you contacted this person yet?

• When will she or he be confirming her or his participation?

• If this person is unavailable to present in your session, what is your contingency plan?

(Note that the more complete information you provide in your application, the better chances your session will have of being selected; we therefore will give preference to those applications where the list of presenters is complete and confirmed.)

4. Procedure: Once you have gathered all the required information, you are ready to fill out the online proposal application form.

5. Financial Assistance: AWID has a limited amount of funding to support participants who are unable to present at the forum without financial assistance. For more information and to apply, visit our Access Fund information page. Please note that neither you nor other member(s) of your session can apply for Access Funds until your session application has been completed.
