11.15 Conversations at small tables in the tent


12.30 Lunch

Location: Hotel Klockargården and Hotel Åkerblads

14.00 “Re-Designing Workshops” and “Hosted Conversations”

The smaller, break-out sessions are of two kinds: some are “Re-designing workshops” where smaller groups work throughout the Forum on creative ideas that address more specific challenges and they develop prototypes for what a possible solution could look like. Others are “Hosted conversations” that are open and explorative, and encourage participants to “Re-think”. A total of over 30 such sessions (lasting about 1½ hours each) are on offer. All sessions are open to the Forum participants and, space permitting, to spouses and families.

Participants sign up for a Re-designing workshop by picking up a sticker at the entrance of the Forum Tent (many will have pre-registered on the web prior to the Forum). Participants choosing the Re-designing workshops are strongly encouraged to stay with the same group throughout the Forum, since the sessions build on each other. You sign up for a Hosted conversation by picking up a ticket each day at the entrance of the Forum Tent. At all sessions, space is provided on a first come-first served basis.
