Notwithstanding expected attendance from applicants residing in a country in the same geographic region as the workshop to which they are applying, there is nothing to preclude an applicant from another region applying to attend a workshop, so long as that workshop's language matches the applicant's language proficiency, and so long as any additional travel and living expenses can be defrayed.
