Themed Breakouts: Creating the New Playbook for Europe’s Future Around Six Critical Themes

Break-out tracks after lunch follow our six themes. They are designed to be highly interactive. Each track has three 30-minute modules with experts from our Councils, TCB community, and next practice practitioners. Each 30-minute module is followed by a 10-minute discussion time (partner or small group) facilitated by TCB track moderators. We encourage members to participate and stay in one (pre-selected) track as tracks are designed to build in content. However, members may also move to other tracks during this “talk and walk” time. Themed, hands-on 45-minute workshops follow the three modules. For more information on the track content please download the agenda.
