Workshop Program
Each day will concentrate on three main themes (as detailed below), and will follow the same structure:
- The first hour will be dedicated to topic overviews from invited speakers and/or panelists, with a chance for workshop participants to pose questions.
- The second hour participants will split into breakout groups organized by the theme. You will be assigned to a breakout group based on your preferences submitted prior to the workshop.
- The last hour is reserved for each breakout groups to report back to the whole group. Discussion will focus on creating of a list of priorities for each of the themes, which will inform plans for a subsequent meeting in Fall or Winter.
