We regret that the site at Kabarak is not suitable for people who are wheel-chair bound, as there is no step-free access to much of the site, including the main hall, and there are no elevators.
There are two ways you can apply to attend the World Conference
1.
As a delegate selected by your yearly meeting. A mailing has gone out
to each yearly meeting (whether or not affiliated with FWCC) advising
them of the number of delegates they are entitled to send. They have
been asked to let the World Office know if they will use all these
delegate spaces by the end of September 2010 and to provide the names
of the delegates by December 2010. At that point in time, the World
Office will send those delegates registration forms. Each yearly
meeting determines how it will name its delegates. So contact your yearly
meeting soon!
2. Via an Open Place. There will be 300 spaces reserved for Open Place applicants plus any spaces not used by yearly meetings. Applications will be available from the World Office or via www.saltandlight2012.org as of September 2010.
Registration fees: Registration fees include fees, room and board for the duration of the conference. This includes a one-day outing in the middle. For the first time, they will be tiered based on the GNP and PPP of the country you come from. The top tier is estimated to be GB£525 (about US$850 or Can$820). The fee structure will be finalised in May 2010. The lowest tier will be £20. Everyone will be expected to pay a 'fair share'. There will be the usual “Travel and Accommodation Fund” to assist those from the poorest countries. Your financial contributions to this fund are needed.
Delegates’ primary expenditure besides the registration fee will be for transportation to and from Kenya. The Local Arrangements Committee will also offer pre-conference and post-conference opportunities to visit yearly meeting sessions or to tour other parts of Kenya, including a safari. There will be costs involved in those choices as they are not included in the registration fee.
Ahead of the Conference
The International Planning Committee is preparing both a study booklet on the theme and also on-line group learning opportunities. This is not only to help delegates prepare themselves but more importantly to allow those who cannot attend to be involved in the preparation.
During the conference, our website will offer audio and hopefully video versions of the major presentations and reports. It also will host a blog for feedback and involvement.
