HORIZONS England Bursary at WOMEX 2024

The HORIZONS England Bursary is a scheme offering support to representatives of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) that have not previously attended the WOMEX conference (or are seeking to re-engage).

The bursary aims to increase access and advocacy, enabling new participants to make sense of the conference, while developing key international networks and opportunities. Watch this space for how to get involved in 2025.
