Hi all there's a lot of projects getting underway in the rooms this morning, so we could aim to get together after lunch on this one. Please feel free to start sharing links, ideas, questions here in the meantime! I'm going to start with this clip about the policy process. When the government wants something to happen, how long might it take? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XeQin9abx4 (from TV Show, the Hollowmen)

Hi all, we'll meet during session 3, I think that starts at 3:30. Probably in the Goethe. This will accommodate those who want to keep working on a challenge from the morning until that time. Thank you all for your interest and patience!

Hey @Fionabradley, just clarifying that you haven't started working on this yet? Eunice is interested in joining!

[micahvandegrift]

I think the plan is that we will start this in the post-330 break

[fionabradley]

Hi @lorrainechu3n that's right, we'll get going in the session after this. Bring energy!

Thank you! These are good example of policies that can be referred to when advocating at national level. Does anyone know of policies in other regional groups? There is some good stuff in the Africa Union 2063 Agenda from memory, but not sure about ASEAN.
