Last updated: 16-07-2024

24TH UNIMA CONGRESS


26 – 30 MAY 2025, CHUNCHEON, SOUTH KOREA

UNIMA is launching a wide-ranging appeal for donations to enable as many international voting councillors and members as possible to be represented at the 2025 UNIMA Congress in Chuncheon. The organization plans to redistribute the donations received for digital representation and travel grants, depending on the amount of money received.

If you would like to support the representation of councillors, please click the button below. Your contribution will help ensure diverse representation and participation from as many countries as possible at this important event.

Thank you for your generosity and support!


The deadline for applying : 

Travel Assistance Fund: October 15, 2024

Digital Representation Assistance Fund: February 28, 2025

The Digital Representation Assistance will cover the digital registration fees for the Congress corresponding to the candidate’s GNI.

The Travel Grant will partly cover travel costs to the Congress location in Chuncheon depending on the amount of donations. It doesn’t include registration fees.

Applicants for travel assistance must submit the following items:

  • Complete the form at the bottom of the page and send the following information via email to mobility@unima.org:
  • Send a letter of intent stating the reason for the request and the amount requested, including a breakdown of costs (flights, visa fees, registration fees, etc.)
  • Send a letter of support from a UNIMA National Center, UNIMA International, a UNIMA Commission or Working Group, etc.
  • Providing evidence of having attempted to raise funds from other sources is not mandatory, but it would be great to see that an effort was made. Feel free to attach any documents associated with these efforts.

Any incomplete application will not be considered.

Applications for Digital or Physical Representation Assistance will be reviewed with the following priorities in mind:

  • Applicants from an under-represented region or demographic of UNIMA (National Centre, continent, field within puppetry, etc.).
  • Facilitate the presence of candidates for the next Executive Committee.
  • Encourage young people and newcomers to the Congress.
  • Councillors having a proven level of involvement and activity within UNIMA International.

Please note:

  • The members of the Executive Committee reserve discretion over the final distribution of funds. 

Schedule:

13th October 2024: Closing of the call

Applicants will receive a response in December 2024.
