GERIF has received grants from GENE (Global Education Network Europe) and FERA (The Finnish Educational Research Association / Suomen kasvatustieteellinen seura) to organize a retreat for Early Career researchers in global education in the end of the year (probably in November or in December) somewhere in Finland. We very much hope that it will be possible to arrange a real-life event, and fortunately all seems to be fine at the moment.

However, because the organizing part of the event is going to need some work, now it would be a perfect time to sign up for a volunteer in organizing the event. If you are not entirely sure about your own timetable, it is of course possible to sign up conditionally, to tell us that you can participate if the time allows. That would help us much at this time.

So, if you are interested or would like to know more about the event, please contact me and Audrey Paradis, audrey.paradis@oulu.fi.

The applying process to participate into the event is going to be a later.

Best regards and hauskaa vappua to everyone!

Antti Kylänpää

Chair of the GERIF Coordinating Board
