Each is divided intoThemes. Each theme is split in a number of Theme Sessionsand Strategy Panels. In the next pages, you willsee that the Programme Areas are at the top of thepage and represented by a colour, just below them aretheir themes and below these are the multiple parallelsessions.How will results be gathered?Each session will produce results (ideas, projects,commitments, input to the Strategic Plan, etc). Mostthemes will gather their sessions‘ results in a strategypanel. These results are brought together in a consolidationsub-plenary for each Programme Area. Finally,when all the Programme Areas are done their resultsare politically focused in the Mayors Panel before theICLEI Council adopts the 2007-2012 Strategic Plan.The closing plenary „Moving Forward“ will provide anoutlook into ICLEI’s future partnership work.What social events and networking opportunitieswill there be?There are four evening events.
