Description
The knowledge café sessions have the great advantage to involve small groups of participants. With a maximum of 12 people, a high level of participation was possible at the 2012 Congress, allowing an in-depth examination of particular subjects. Participants were able to test their ideas with individuals who shared common interests and raise their awareness of different viewpoints.
This intimate set-up is a powerful way to challenge your thinking and gain a deep understanding of some of the most important conservation issues today. In Jeju, the knowledge cafés offered a rare window on the various observations and experiences shared by the participants. This open debate format ensured each learnt from one another in an informal, conversational set-up.
