Be Present. When courageous conversations arise, we remain physically, mentally, and emotionally present demonstrating empathy. • Actively Listen – We listen to receive, not react. Receiving does not mean we agree – it demonstrates openness to different ideas, preferences, and insight. • Demonstrate Care - Feedback is a form of showing commitment to our success. “We can’t grow if we don’t know.” • Practice Selective Vulnerability – It is not always easy. Sharing stories of triumph and challenge are encouraged and necessary for growth.
Be Present. There will be a preference for in-person participation for sessions at the Canada pavilion. However, the Government of Canada will be looking into the technical feasibility of remote participation in order to facilitate broader participation, particularly for underrepresented groups. All speakers included in the Event Proposal will present a session at COP27 within the dates of November 6th - 18th, 2022. While there will be a preference for in-person participation, the Government of Canada will be looking into the technical feasibility of remote participation in order to facilitate broader participation. Speakers agree to arrive 30 minutes prior to their session time for final instruction by the Event Management Team. All speakers confirm they will present the session as agreed in the approved run of show and presentation description. No substantive changes in content or presenters are made without prior written approval submitted to the Event Management Team for ECCC’s final approval. • Presenting Skills Speakers should have the ability to inspire, entertain, and engage our audience through interactive presentations or workshops providing practical takeaways. Speakers shall understand how to address and teach adults. This includes, at a minimum, good voice projection, coordination of oral and visual information, and the ability to interact positively with the audience. Speakers should avoid reading material from the slide presentation. Slide material should touch on key points of the presentation.
