Title Iberoamerican and Caribbean Forum on Best Practices Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 14:00 - 16:00 Room MR02 Event Description The goal of organizing this meeting on the transfer of best practices from Latin America and the Caribbean is twofold. First, the forum hopes to share the success it has had in transferring technologies, lessons learned and knowledge from one city or town to another via peer-to peer workshops, training, international or regional conferences, thematic events, the analysis and publication of capacity building tools, electronic conferences award process and through fostering direct transfers of best practices from one place to another. Secondly we hope to stimulate a spontaneous debate involving Best Practices the forum has identified which will be the impetus for a longer, more permanent, exchange of ideas. We hope this exchange will lead to mutually beneficial relationships across international borders and the transfer of best practices and improvement of the living environment.
