The Forum is a hybrid event, however in-person attendance is limited and prioritized for invited guests. Nevertheless, virtual participation is open to everyone.
Registration details for both virtual and in-person participation are available here. Registered online participants will receive a link by email close to the date of the Forum giving them access to panel discussions and breakout events.
One can also join the Forum without registering by watching the free livestream on the GNRC’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
The format of each session will vary. The program will include plenary sessions, panel and group discussions for the different themes and focus areas, expert presentations, video presentations, reflections, and an interfaith prayer for peace. For more details, please visit the “Programs” page on this website.
