Rapporteurs of Interactive Dialogues:

​Methodology of Interactive Dialogue Series:  This session will be divided into 2 conversation rounds (each guided by a question) during which participants actively exchange ideas and gain a better understanding of each other’s perspectives, as follows:         

• For each conversation round, participants actively discuss the relevant question in small groups of four to five persons, and change groups for the next round; allowing for a cross-pollination of views and ideas. 
• At the end of each round, all views and ideas issuing from the conversation are collected and shared with all participants. 

Additionally, two brief town-hall sessions will be held in order to identify the overall trends, collective insights, common solutions or follow-up actions generated by the group at large.
