16:15 Feedback
- international
- break-out group: good idea, productive, works well
- right timing, right people
- momentum
- looking forward for next workshop
- super happy
- like mix of formats (sit back and listen; do work together)
- inspiring to see we are all here and willing to contribute
- after years of feeling lonely, glad to have found if not family, then friends
- very intense
- good overview of what is happening
- could have gone deeper in a few topics
- good (and go further): increase share of "work" and reduce presentations / introduction
- interesting, insights, inspiring
- more time for discussion after presentations
16:30 End of Workshop
Break-out groups
Once or twice during the workshop, we will break-out into smaller discussion groups to work on different projects. All groups report back to the plenary afterwards and present results. Group size: 3-8 persons. Time frame: about 2 hours.
