description

We are excited to share the preliminary program for the OGP Estonia Global Summit with you!

This draft program focuses on the thematic breakout sessions at the Summit, covering the Summit themes of anti-corruption, civic space and participation, climate and environment, digital governance, open justice, and democratic resilience.

The sessions are the result of work by the Summit´s Community Content Leads, who were selected from across the OGP community to develop content that responds to the OGP strategy and addresses issues that are relevant and important to the OGP community. Their proposals were reviewed and further refined by the Summit Advisory Board and Summit Organizing Team to arrive at 26 sessions in the preliminary program, which will make up approximately half of the final programme.

Now we need your input!

We welcome your feedback on the proposed content – including commenting on the sessions, identifying essential topics that are missing, and/or suggesting examples, contributors and speakers to feature – before May 19, 2023. The Summit Organizing Team and Advisory Board will review the feedback provided to refine the program, including identifying additional session topics.
