 *
EA Germany is committed to making this weekend accessible to everyone by covering a significant portion of the costs. However, we rely on the generosity of those who can afford it to keep organising events like this. Therefore, we ask participants for donations. These are tax-deductible via this document.

Your answer to this question does not impact whether your application is accepted or not, and you can change your mind later on.
Can you help out during the weekend?
 *
This time there won't be catering, which lowers costs, but also means that everyone should volunteer some of their time to work together on making the retreat go well and be well fed.
Please select any options that you're interested in helping out with.
