==What are “Open Sessions”?== | ==What are “Open Sessions” and how do I take part?== | ||
Open sessions are sessions proposed by delegates and participants. They may happen in all three cities if proposed in advance and if there are enough facilitators. Or they may just happen in one city. It is really up to the people who proposed the sessions to decide this. | Open sessions are sessions proposed by delegates and participants.

These sessions will take place on Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the Summit, and will be smaller in size than sessions in other parts of the agenda. Participants will be able to propose sessions in the time leading up to the Summit, and as space permits, sessions can also be proposed at the Summit itself. | These sessions will take place on Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the Summit, and will be smaller in size than sessions in other parts of the agenda.

==What makes an “Open Session” different from other sessions?== | |||
Open session topics will vary in each of the three Summit locations, and will reflect the unique interests, skills and passions of those present in each city. The emphasis in Open Sessions will be on discussion and knowledge sharing, and formats are intended to be dialog-oriented and hands-on rather than lecture or presentation. We will discourage use of slideware, and instead invite Open Session facilitators to let questions and participant interests shape the course of their sessions. Learning by doing, co-creating and co-designing formats will be especially encouraged. | |||
