Investing in the World Congress on Access to Post-Secondary Education
An investment in the World Congress is an investment in a new global access movement. Your support allows the European Access Network and its partners to convene like networks, groups and individuals from around the world who are working to open up access to post-secondary education for groups disadvantaged by poverty, birth and other economic and social circumstances. You will be helping to bring new voices to the table and building innovative partnerships to close the gaps in post-secondary participation and success worldwide. The World Congress is being planned as a three-part series over the 2013-2017 period, with events and projects in intervening years. The first Congress will take place in Montreal in October 2013.
We urge you to join us as we build an innovative new platform for collaborative work on broadening access to post-secondary education around the world.
