Connecting at the Forum

As a complement to the Forum amphitheatres, these Forum innovations and special features were ways to connect in small groups or dedicated spaces, with a focus on innovation, interactivity and collaboration.

Interactive Workshops

  


Take the debate further – these workshops brought together a wide range of perspectives from across the policy shaping community in a highly interactive and engaging format. An experienced facilitation team co-ordinates the work of sense makers and the collaborative process that engages a group of 90+ participants over a three-hour period.

Interactive Workshop 1 - Unlocking the potential for partnership: Civil Society leaders working session

The Civil Society leaders working session be held on Monday 20 May from 10:00 to 13:00 at room CC9. It focused on actions the OECD and partners can take to promote and enable an environment for civil society, which is currently the most critical challenge that civil society organisations face, impeding their basic license to operate and people’s ability to participate in civic life. In this scenario, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 emerges as a unique opportunity to involve more actors through global and multi-stakeholder partnerships. The three-hour session involved approximately 100 participants including civil society representatives and government delegates from the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting.

Civic Innovation Hub @ Better Life Index

   



The OECD Better Life Index is an online tool where citizens can tell the OECD what matters for their well-being, based on 11 different dimensions. It is an effort of the Organisation to make our work more accessible and include citizens in the quality of life debate.


At the Civic Innovation Hub, we showcased initiatives that strive for better outcomes. Whether through civic tech – using technology in the service of public good – or social innovation, speakers discussed how their initiatives are having an impact on what matters in our daily lives, including health, education, environment, income, community and much more. Speakers gave short pitches with open Q&A, touching on opportunities and challenges for making change and improving lives.
