General Assembly
Saturday, January 21
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
We start with a temperature check, reflecting on recent events while thinking about the way forward. We'll learn the history and values of our institution, understand how participatory budgeting works at the University of Rosario, Argentina, and then see what work people have engaged in within their classes, departments, and divisions.
We break for lunch at noon and then shift gears to build a plan of action that informs the coalition's progression. We'll discuss the proposed blueprint and form working groups to meet our short- and long-term goals. We'll end the evening with a review of the session.
