Format:

Part 1: Reading. The first 30 minutes are allocated for silent reading, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the material.

Part 2: Discussion. We will break into small groups (about 4 people each) to enable a dynamic and in-depth exchange of views and insights. Although there won't be a keynote speaker, the collective knowledge and readiness of the participants will drive our discussion. A commitment to timeliness and respect for all attendees is essential.
