Program
We are happy to present the 2021 Initiative Forum program.
This year we have a wide variety of inspiring and insightful lectures and workshops, as well as interactive activities for the participants to engage in meaningful conversation. Since the forum welcomes participants from all over the world, many of the lectures and workshops will be recorded to allow participants from different time zones to view them at a moment that best suites their schedule. For this same reason, we are offering two opportunities to participate in sharing groups, one at 9:30 - 10:30 CET (which includes the framing of the day) and the second at 19:00 - 19:40 CET.
We are very excited for this year's lineup of contributors, who will be zooming in from all over the globe to share their wisdom on a diverse range of complex topics.
There are still more details and activities to come, so stay tuned!
