Upcoming Study Tours
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a study tour and what is its objective?
Study tours provide an opportunity for leaders in our sector to learn about innovative approaches in other parts of the world while networking with their peers. Ideally, learnings will lead to actionable changes within each participant’s own sphere of influence. Webinars taking place before the tour allow participants to ‘hit the ground running’ when they arrive—and a detailed summary of the entire event, drafted by Dr. Nick Falvo, will serve as a crucial takeaway document that can be shared with peers after the study tour.
How much is the registration fee and what does the registration fee cover?
The registration fee for this study tour is CA$1,950 + applicable taxes. That includes a one-week guided tour with a focus on affordable housing and homelessness. It also includes several webinars taking place before we arrive in The Netherlands. Participants are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and meals.
The total cost depends on where you reside. A table showing the total cost, including taxes, can be found by clicking here.
When is the registration fee due?
The full registration fee is to be paid in one installment. As soon as payment is received, the participant’s registration will be secured (subject to available space). A confirmation of registration email will be sent upon successful payment processing.
How can I pay?
Payment can be made via e-transfer, eletronic funds tranfser (EFT) or wire transfer. Once your completed application form is received, you or your identified payment coordinator will be contacted to complete payment. Instruction on how to complete the required payment will be provided at that time.
What if I need to withdraw?
There will be no refunds in the event of cancellation. However, in the event of a participant wishing to withdraw for any reason, registration can be transferred to a colleague for no additional fee.
How will we move around when we’re on the study tour?
Participants will travel within each city via a combination of walking, public transit, taxis and ride share apps. A certain degree of walking is required (i.e., at least 30 minutes a day).
What about accommodations during the tour?
Nick Falvo Consulting may provide recommended accommation locations for each tour, however, unless otherwise stated, the booking and payment of accommodations during the tour will be the sole responsiblity of the participant.
I’ve been on two of Nick’s study tours, and each has had a transformative impact on our organization. Holland in 2027 will no doubt be the same.
Housing and homelessness study tours by Nick Falvo are incredible opportunities to have a year’s worth of learning in a week!
