Description

The IGF is a diverse space where many, many languages are spoken. This coffee/tea/beverage of your choice break will celebrate that. Participants who signed up for an ‘in your own language’ session will first enter the room, share in the chat what "their own language" is and then will have the option to join a breakout room where they can interact with others in the same language.

LANGUAGES ON TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER: Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and English.

The facilitator will stay in the cafe/main room and as people enter the room, the facilitator will assign them to the language group of their choice. Individual language groups will not be facilitated and participants are encouraged to network informally about any topic, from talking about the IGF and why they are here, the impact of the pandemic, or about anything else that is happening around them.
