NoWforWTDC fireside discussions

The six fireside discussions (once a month) gave participants the chance to get inspiration from ITU’s work, kn​ow the processes and learn from other delegates as well as role models. Each fireside discussion was organized in coordination with the ITU Regional Offices to ensure members were engaged in shaping the discussion and programme.
