If all Indigenous communities were recognised as one nation, they would be the third most populous country in the world. Despite this, Indigenous communities are often under-represented in national and international decision making processes. What's more, Indigenous communities are regularly excluded from the decisions which directly affect their own communities. This panel seeks to address these issues, looking at the systemic barriers to Indigenous people entering the political process as well as the challenges Indigenous representatives face in effecting meaningful change.

Big projects often involve large contractors, not focusing on smaller local and Indigenous businesses due to size, competitive processes, and resource constraints. However, the narrative is shifting.

Unconscious bias involves ingrained biases or prejudices that unknowingly affect our understanding, actions, and decisions. They stem from various factors such as personal experiences, cultural upbringing, media influences, and societal norms. These biases can negatively impact our well-being, performance, and relationships at work, especially when they concern aspects as gender, ethnicity, age, disability, or sexual orientation.The uprise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a dual role in this context. It can inadvertently reinforce biases through its programming, but it also offers tools to detect and mitigate these biases. This workshop focuses on recognizing unconscious biases and how to deal with them in the workplace.

Protecting the climate is without a doubt one the most pressing tasks of our time, yet other development matters are often overlooked, although they pose challenges in all parts of the world. They can influence health, education, gender equality, biodiversity, peace – to name only a few dimensions. In return, fostering sustainable development in these areas can bring opportunities for halting and reversing the climate crisis. All parts of society and around the globe must play their part in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – individuals, businesses, civil society, academia, governments. Each with their own ways of contributing. In the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), these actors come together to work on that and so we will discuss in this workshop the interconnected nature of sustainable development in relation to climate change and how different actors can work collaboratively to strengthen these links.

In this workshop you will learn how you can make your ideas reality by designing experiments. Experiments help us to gain a better understanding of people, their context and provide us with real-life proof that our ideas work and we are developing the 'right' solution. In the fast-paced environment we work in, experimenting allows us to remove uncertainty, learn quickly and de-risk innovation (and investments made, both in time and money). In small groups, you will look at the riskiest assumptions of your idea, prioritize your assumptions and design the experiment you want to execute when you're back home. You will leave the workshop with a concrete idea to act upon, so you can bring your ideas into the world. Experienced designers and facilitators will guide and inspire you with examples of experiments Deloitte works on (e.g., The Judiciary app, care robot Alice, virtual agent Wout).

1.8 billion people. That’s the number of young people between the ages of 10 to 24 alive today – that's over 16% of the world’s population. Young people are passionate, brilliant, and ready to make a positive change in the world. Yet, their experiences are not fully leveraged in addressing the biggest societal and organisational challenges of today.In this workshop, participants will learn about best practices in meaningful engaging young people in organisational initiatives, programs, and advocacy, including learning about and applying the foundational principles of meaningful youth engagement, the Flower of Youth Participation and the 8 levels of Hart’s Ladder of Youth Participation. Through presentations and delegate discussions of case studies, participants will walk away from the session with key tools to guide their practice of meaningfully engaging young people in all pillars of society.

This workshop will give attendees an opportunity to simulate policy-making in a multilateral setting, creating a simulation challenge that focuses on SDGs 10, 16, and 17. Within multilateral settings, different stakeholders prioritize divergent issues and maintain their own rules for engagement. In a world currently facing a number of polycrises, all stakeholder groups need to identify ways to work together to solve many interrelated issues at once. The challenge will specifically address forced displacement, where each group will need to solve the same policy problem, which will have both human and environmental costs, and strategize on what they are able to do to alleviate the situation. The groups will then be brought back together to discuss, identify points of convergence, and illuminate the value of a multistakeholder approach to create harmonious and applicable solutions, ultimately demonstrating the pieces of the picture they are missing by not engaging other stakeholder groups.

“A just transition maximises the social and economic opportunities of climate action,while carefully managing its challenges. Rooted in sustainable development, a justtransition leverages environmental strategies to advance decent work, promote socialinclusion and eradicate poverty. It depends on a fair process built on social dialogue(between representatives of companies and of workers and sometimes ofGovernments); stakeholder engagement among all impacted groups, including affectedcommunities; and a universal respect for fundamental labour rights and other humanrights. It is a holistic approach, touching every economic sector (not only energy), everyregion and every country.”Source: United Nations Global Compact Business Brief “Just TransitionJoin BMW Group workshop to gain an understanding of the opportunities and challenges through an automotive industry lens so you can make a difference in your organisation and beyond!”

In seeking alternative narratives to the modern understanding of home—often viewed as separate from ecological and societal processes—and sustainability as a conceptual framework rather than a daily practice, Juliana is deeply inspired by the Andean cosmology of Buen Vivir. Buen Vivir, emphasising interconnectedness with nature, offers alternative narratives and principles that enables new ways of being, relating, and understanding the world. It emphasises reconnecting with one’s body as a starting point for learning to live in balance and reciprocal relationships with the environment and all its inhabitants.

Juliana proposes “Buen Vivir at Home” (body-place-earth) as a relational framework to approach homemaking as a situated and diverse everyday practice based on relationality and reciprocity. Through a series of “companion practices,” such as wandering, interrogating the familiar, embracing vulnerability, and sentipensar (feeling-thinking), Juliana aims to foster and cultivate relationality in daily life at home.
