[IGFmaglist] IGF Programme

[Veronica Cretu]

Dear Markus, greetings and thanks a lot for these updates and reminders!

I want to briefly get back to the issue of having sessions *as interactive
as possible @IG*F, and in line with this, I want to share a
participant-centered approach/framework for a session/workshop, etc. called
ERR - Evocation/Realization of the meaning/Reflection, which is really
worth considering in the context of the upcoming event.

If there are any Qs related to this approach, anyone is free to contact
me!

With very best,
Veronica
