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.
Find out more on the Summit website.

The challenge seems to be the search for common points of interest to build a society for all. But the question is: How prepared are we? What tools and strategies are needed to achieve good results? The proposed activity can explore good pratices, examples as well as indicate techniques to not become just a speech by itself.
-
Have you perhaps considered discussing what is(!) successful citizen engagement? It seems to me we always think in absolute / majoritarian terms, but is this really the case? I would be keen to learn what our expectations in terms of the level of citizen engagement are when public sector institutions and civil society actors seek to engage / work with citizens? - what do we base them on? do we have any data that would support our rationale / expectations?
-
The description is not very clear, but the goal of a cohesive, resilient society and most importantly, HOW do we build paths towards it should be fundamental across themes/sessions at OGP Summit. This involves not only civil society, but also how to empower champions and potential champions in the State and private sector to push for reforms needed, and as key factors in promoting cohesiveness where lack of trust and low confidence in the possibility of change has been the norm. We at the new Governance Action Hub of R4D to be launched in July, would be interested in exploring with colleagues a session focused on this.
-
Great idea. I reckon a key question here could - what are the ingredients of a successful anti-corruption program and are we ready to break away from the classical, institutionalist approach to anti-corruption (which I would argue has had limited success) and stress / focus on how(!) to instill long-lasting social norms and create sustainable change in our respective societies.
