Capacity Building ‘Track’

Pre-events (Day 0):

“Collaborative Leadership Exchange” by ISOC and others will be organised in an "unconference" manner, involving fellows from various CB programmes but also anyone else interested. This event will help networking and open discussion, feeding into Orientation Session concept.

Orientation Sessions (Day 1-4):

Following the successful model of the 7th IGF, it will now be extended into several sessions: For 90 minutes each morning, an orientation session will be held to map the overall IGF and other diplomatic/political processes, main actors and ecosystem, various topics, and help newcomers to understand how they can engage during and after IGF and benefit from it.

These sessions will be highly interactive, with group work, with assistance of facilitators and volunteer experts in various topics/thematic areas. Interested facilitators and experts are invited to let us know.

The detailed programme of the Orientation Sessions is now available.

Roundtable (Day 4):

This 90min session will be held which will be an opportunity to talk about CB, analyse what worked at the IGF and what should be improved, what are the needs in between the IGF meetings, etc. The outputs would be fed into Taking Stocks session and the report.

Workshops (Day 1-4):

The accepted workshops that have a capacity building effect or are about capacity building are marked in the IGF programme as part of CB track.

Other events and activities (Day 1-4):

Other events and activities (such as open forum, side events, Village events, etc.) that have a capacity building effect or are about capacity building will be identified, and marked in the IGF programme as part of CB track.
