Registration Fees

• The conference is hosted by Makerere University through the Department of Performing Arts and Film (DPAF) at the School of Liberal and Performing Arts (SLPA), College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHUSS). We hope to cover Conference materials and welfare through payments of registration fees. However, the fee does not adequately cover students’ participation. DPAF’s celebration of the Golden Jubilee has been planned purposely to involve its current students who will stage performances and exhibitions. Additionally, we are fundraising for a number of activities to mark the Golden Jubilee, as highlighted below.
• We hope you can support us to realize the plans. Please, indicate to us the nature and extent of your support. WELCOME, AND THANK YOU!
