PASCAL Conference 2022 in Tampere Finland rescheduled to 24-26 October 2022

Submitted by Jari Stenvall on June 21, 2022 - 10:33

Despite wide international interest in the 16th PASCAL Conference in Tampere Finland, we have concluded that, it is necessary to postpone the event. We have re-scheduled it for 24-26 October 2022 again in hybrid mode. We know that many reading this message will be disappointed, because many of us were keen to meet together again after such a long break. We are very confident that the later date will be much more feasible, and look forward to meeting many of you then in person or virtually.

Last chance speaker call out! CYW Conference 2022

Submitted by Caroline Jones on March 22, 2022 - 11:41

The Changing Your World Conference has gone fully online… and across three days.

As a result we’re reopening our call-out for speakers far and wide. We had our program pretty much full as a one day in person event – but now that we’re online across 3 days, we have more scope for concurrent sessions, and more space for speakers, who can come from anywhere across Australia – or even the world!
