Walk from Peterborough to Nene Park with GTE/IFE aspirants and holders. Talks on visa endorsement, jobs, finance and fundraising.

The journey to a Global Talent Visa or Innovator Founder Visa is more than paperwork, evidence or business plans.

It's hope, uncertainty, hard work, self-doubt, and the courage to keep going. And often, we go through it alone.

The MigrantMinds Trek brings together migrant professionals & entrepreneurs, who are preparing for the GTV or IFV and people who have already achieved it. We'll walk from the centre of Peterborough, past the Cathedral, along the River Nene and through Nene Park. We'll share our stories, meet people who truly understand the journey.

What we'll do together

Walk 6-8 miles (10-13 km) at a comfortable community pace
