Come iscriversi
Per iscriversi, compilare e spedire il modello di iscrizione (in inglese) disponibile in formato PDF. Le iscrizioni sono accettate tramite posta e spedite all'indirizzo indicato nella domanda.
Regole generali
I genitori di studenti minorenni sono pregati di contattare Giuseppe Lupis ad info@grumofestival.com prima di iscrivere i propri figliuoli, perché il Grumo Festival non è in grado di seguire gli studenti durante il festival. Dal momento che le situazioni personali possono essere differenti, gli studenti minorenni potranno essere ammessi solo dopo una accurata valutazione caso per caso.
Il costo del corso per il 2012 è indicato qui. Tale cifra non sarà rimborsabile, tranne nel caso in cui il corso prescelto non venga attivato. Per tutto fa fede il testo inglese ed in particolare lo student agreement.
Si fa presente che il Grumo Festival non è responsabile per vitto, alloggio costo del viaggio, e quant'altro dovesse rendersi necessario. Il Grumo Festival si sta attivando per individuare famiglie locali disponibili ad ospitare gratuitamente i partecipanti. Tale possibilità tuttavia non può essere garantita e verrà offerta secondo l'ordine di iscrizione. Laddove concordato in anticipo, il Grumo Festival può offrire aiuto con la logistica, come ad esempio trasporto da e per l'aereoporto di Bari Palese, il porto di Bari, o le stazioni ferroviarie di Bari Centrale, Grumo Appula, e Binetto.
