In case of postponement for a few days only, this proposal will remain valid, and no new proposal will need to be submitted. However, in case any element other than the date of the workshop(s) (eg. name of school, class, trainers, number of trainees etc.) needs to be changed, a new proposal will need to be submitted, and withdrawal of this proposal will need to be communicated to the program office (IAP central office).
