Attending ICIS 2022 in Copenhagen?
Let’s continue the tradition of giving back to the locations hosing our conference.
This year, IS scholars CAN humanize refugee conditions in Denmark in two ways:
1. Contribute
Join IS Scholars in supporting The Weekend Trampoline House
The Weekend Trampoline House is a community center for refugees providing free Danish and English language classes, legal counseling, support for women and children, workshops and more. Morten Goll, with the Weekend Trampoline House, is helping us organize a GoFundMe drive.
Please support this worthy cause if you can.
Note: €10≃75 Danish krone
$10≃70 Danish krone
GoFundMe subtracts a 0.29% and €0.25 transaction charge from each donation.
There is an option to tip GoFundMe, which you can include or set to zero on the checkout page
2. Learn & Share
Come learn and share your knowledge at our conference panel on December 13, 2:00-3:30pm in Conference Room B4 M7-8.
