În aprilie 2019 am avut marea bucurie să particip la Conferința Anuală organizată de Heartbeat International – organizație care în ultimii 50 de ani a dezvoltat o rețea de peste 2800 de centre de criză de sarcină.
A fost o experiență extraordinară despre care puteți citi aici și aici: oameni profesioniști, ateliere foarte bune și contact cu realitatea pe care o putem construi împreună în următorii 50 de ani în România.
Tocmai am aflat vestea că au deschis un program de burse pentru cei care vor să participe la Conferința Anuală din 2020, care va avea loc în perioada 14-16 aprilie 2020 la Seattle, în SUA. E un sprijin important de care vă puteți bucura, dacă vă doriți să participați. Bursa acoperă toate cheltuielile, în afară de transport.

International Conference Scholarship
Heartbeat International’s Annual Conference is swiftly approaching!
Heartbeat International strives to assist individuals in other countries that seek to serve in pregnancy help ministry. Our annual conferences provide the greatest opportunity for diverse training, broad networking, and inspirational encouragement to our international affiliates.
We offer a limited number of financial scholarships for international conference participants who apply and are accepted. Scholarships vary due to demand, and scholarships may cover as much as:
• event registration fee(s),
• conference meals and
• hotel accommodations related to the conference.
We invite individuals such as the key leader/executive director, staff member, volunteer, counselor, and/or board member that is currently serving in an international pregnancy help organization to apply.
Eligible pregnancy help organizations are life-affirming non-governmental organizations (e.g. pregnancy resource center, medical help clinics, maternity housing, non-profit adoption agencies) that hold values consistent with Heartbeat International.
We also invite individuals demonstrating a strong and verifiable desire to open a new pregnancy help effort in their country/region and learn more about pregnancy help ministry. All scholarship applicants must be affiliated with Heartbeat International, either directly or through a joint affiliation partner.
Preference is given to those who:
- are affiliated with our international partners (Africa Cares for Life, Canadian Association of Pregnancy Support Services, Pregnancy Help Australia, Centro de Ayuda para la Mujer Latinomerican, Association for Life of Africa, Movimento per la Vita, ProVida, Be’Ad Chaim, and Pregnancy Support Services Asia) and
- access available local/regional training, especially those provided by our joint affiliation partners. We will verify affiliation, good standing, and attendance at trainings with these organizations, and
- are direct affiliates in good standing with Heartbeat International.
Each scholarship is granted with the idea that the recipient will use the conference experience to strengthen their ministry or to lay the groundwork for a new ministry. Scholarship recipients are therefore expected to attend all keynote sessions, workshops, and in-depth day, if available. International scholarship applicants should be somewhat fluent in English. Heartbeat conferences are presented in English and translation is generally not available.
It will be a hard close on January 30, 2020. That means that no applications will be accepted after January 30, 2020. Do not delay if you want your application to be considered. Late applications will not be considered.
