Dear Participant
This bi-weekly webinar is to contribute creating passionate advocates on doing equitable, sustainable, playful, cities, where everyone lives healthier and happier.
Every other Tuesday I invite fascinating people to share interesting transformative actions. It’s 60 minutes, where in the first half the guest presents, and then we have a dialogue considering the questions and comments from participants.
I am very grateful to always have hundreds of participants, from over 25 countries, a few over 40! They are from all backgrounds, some work in public sector, others private, NGOs, others in active retirement; we also have elected officials, academics, media, etc.
Please invite others to watch live. Also, share the recordings widely, especially with decision makers, community groups, advocates, students, anyone interested in people and cities.
Kindest regards, GIL.
