The Event's Format
About 1.5 Track Diplomacy
1.5 Track Diplomacy Dialogues are unofficial
interactions between official representatives
of states, facilitated by unofficial bodies. This
means the parties involved in the 1st
Australia-Colombia Dialogue are official
representatives, however, the facilitators are
ordinary citizens.
About the Event's Format
The format used for the inaugural dialogue
sought to enrich the conversation by
allocating one moderator, at least three
different speakers and several expert
delegates from each country, to each of the
seven discussion sessions that took place in
Bogota on June 20, 2019.

This format encouraged interaction during
each session among all participants and
ensured an active representation from all
delegates present at the dialogue. In doing
so, the dialogue sought to guarantee all
voices were able to fully participate in the
dialogue and increase the diversity and
richness of the overall conversation.
