Break-out sessions

With the previous panel discussion in mind, participants will be divided into break-out groups and comment on one of the trust issues the policy brief's puts forward, reacting and examining the policy recommendations presented, suggesting any refinements or additions, while engaging in an open dialogue with CO practitioners participating in the Roundtable.

Participants will be able to comment on their discussion, highlighting what struck them and what they bring home.
