Instructions on how to the Zoom app can be found here: https://www.probonoconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Instruction-How-to-use-Zoom.pptx
How to a convert session times into my local time?
We’ve found that if you Google, for example, “UK to ICT time” (replace UK with your country or region) it will convert the current time for you.

Another way is to include the time, for example, “10am ICT time to New York” also works well.

Why hasn't my registration been confirmed?

This may be because:

  • the confirmation email has gone to your SPAM folder.
  • some orders require manual confirmation from our team, please allow some time.
  • the registration process wasn’t completed. After filling out the form in the first step, please then click the “Add to cart” button and then “Proceed to checkout” on the Cart page.

The performances (lasting 3-5 minutes each) involve participants from each country getting together and preparing a type of song/dance/poem or something else that symbolizes a part of their country’s culture.

We also request that the performance should also be linked to something related to access to justice, or fairness/ethics, and/or helping others.

In order to listen to the interpreter only, participants have to Mute Original Audio.

Why can’t hear the interpreter?
