DIALOGUES AND WORKSHOPS
Facilitating Pacific Connect workshops and dialogues, which are designed to bring small groups of Pacific Islanders and Australian equivalents together to expand their networks, ICDP builds people-to-people links and explores opportunities to work on issues/projects of mutual interest.
The workshops and dialogues, using the ‘Second Track’ process, provide a nurturing, safe and confidential meeting place for the region’s current and emerging leaders. Through these dialogues, ICDP encourages participants to brainstorm and identify projects to implement that are important to the Pacific and which may feed into the economy through exploration of commercial opportunities. ICDP provides mentoring to build capacity and coaching to support the implementation and funding of projects. See below for activities conducted and projects identified to date.
