Das Neuland Stipendium und warum wir aus Zwei einfach mal Vier gemacht haben.

The Neuland scholarship and why we simply multiplied two by four.

Sometimes things don't go as planned. We had announced two Neuland scholarships for the IFVP Global Summit. And then the applications came in…

And a great many people came. Which made our decision really difficult, because all applicants shared a great passion for the topic of visualization and a strong desire to exchange ideas with like-minded people from all over the world at such an international event.

No matter how much we tried, we ultimately arrived at four applicants who, in our opinion, deserved a scholarship. There was no changing that. To also enable the two additional applicants to receive a scholarship, we contacted the IFVP, which quickly agreed to support us – and especially the applicants – with partial sponsorship.

The result:

Neuland scholarships for 4 participants from 4 continents:

Traveling to the international visualizers meeting in Montclair, USA with a scholarship in hand:

  • Deon Hanns , Cape Town, South Africa (Neuland scholarship)
  • Kanna Yoshikawa , Kobe, Japan (Scholarship Neuland)
  • Kelly Fry , Portland, Oregon USA (partial scholarship Neuland/IFVP)
  • Friederike Dietz , Aachen, Germany (partial scholarship Neuland/IFVP)

We offer our heartfelt congratulations, wish you a good and safe flight, and look forward to the visual reportage of the trip and the visualizers' meeting of the year:

2024 IFVP GLOBAL SUMMIT, MONTACLAIR, USA

 

For everyone else, there is a visual "consolation prize".

To ensure no one leaves the application process empty-handed, we've decided to provide all applicants with a travel sketchnote kit. We wish you all continued enjoyment in visualizing your travels. And perhaps we'll see you at one of the many other events on this topic that Neuland will be accompanying or supporting this year.
