• GSC Working Group or Community of Practice presentations: All the GSC WGs and CoPs will present the highlights of their work in a very short petcha-kucha style format allowing for questions. All WG and CoPs will be jointly presented in 2 sessions.
• Thematic sessions: addressing some key issues of interest to the cluster partners. 
• Open Space discussions: These are 45' slots available to discuss any topic that anyone would like to share with other shelter cluster partners. Any topic is welcomed from a proposal of a new global initiative to a good practice from the field. Topics can be submitted in this link before the 1^st June.
