About On Line Dialogue

 

The CSD Athens 2009 organizers have launched the On-Line Dialogue platform in order to facilitate the widest possible exchange of views between Civil Society partners all over the world and to enable interested participants to get informed about this year’s Civil Society Days.

 

The online dialogue is open in 4 languages: English, French, Spanish and Greek. It takes the form of a blog section where topics/questions are raised and both individuals and organizations are welcome to reply and comment on. (Please note that there will be a short time lapse from when a comment is submitted to the online dialogue website to when it will be published). To contribute your thoughts and comments and participate in the online dialogue, you must register with the CSD/GFMD Athens 2009 website. To register, click here.

 

The issues of debate are proposed by the Organizing Committee of CSD Athens 2009. Each topic/question will be “open” for comments and responses for a 15-day period. At the end of this period, the blog moderators will draft a summary of what has been discussed. Summaries will be posted in the language of the blog and in English. The online dialogue input will be used as background material for consideration during the two-day CSD conference.

 

Sharing Experiences: In parallel to the debate focused on specific questions, contributors are invited to post information about their experiences and best practices on migration and development. For more information click here.
