Study Tour to Brazil

We are delighted to announce that applications for the Climate Resilient Cities Study Tour are now open. Attached below you can find details on the purpose and content of the study, and the application form. The deadline for all applications is Monday the 18th of March. All applications should be sent to brazilstudytour@ella.practicalaction.org

As previously communicated, the tour will take place in Brazil between the 12th and the 20th of May. The tour offers an opportunity for 12 Learning Alliance members to meet in person and interact with each other and a range of Brazilian stakeholders that are addressing and being affected by climate change challenges in urban areas in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before applying to take part, please review the Study Tour Advert which outlines which themes we will be focusing on during the visit.

Applications will be evaluated according to: 1) the quality of participant’s online participation to date, and 2) the participant’s relevant experience and extent to which they will be able to make use of the knowledge and experiences gained on the tour once they return to their own country. Therefore, we encourage applicants to take the time to submit a well thought-out application that gives focused answers to all of the questions.

The mandate of the ELLA programme is to share good practices from Latin America with practitioners and researchers from Africa and Asia, and as such only members working in cities in these regions are eligible to apply. Of course, during and after the study tour, lessons will be shared with all Learning Alliance participants.

Should you have any questions or comments we encourage you to use the announcement post on the Learning Space.

We look forward to receiving your applications.

All the best,
Charlotte and the ELLA Team
