Description

The Forum’s workshops aim to present results-driven assessments on the state of nature, empowering people with the tools to work towards particular areas of conservation.

Typically, they last two hours and encourage participants to reach a good level of understanding on specific topics while building on consensus. Through interactive techniques, a conversational set-up, simulations of real situations and a whole array of other open training methods, participants will be able to learn from each other’s knowledge and know-how, thus taking advantage of the rich diversity of backgrounds and expertise.

Thanks to the creative approaches used to deliver these sessions, the workshops offer an ideal set-up to formalize alliances and partnerships to take concrete action resulting from Congress.
