Although some teams have met 4 times already, as a group we have only had the chance to meet twice: in\u00a0Lima\u00a0and in\u00a0Jakarta. The first meeting marked the beginning of the initiative. This is when we all got to meet each other. The second one marketed the beginning of the collaborative projects. This was the first time that all the teams were able to sit down and start work on their projects.<\/p>\n

This time around, we expect to spend some time catching-up with progress and getting down to work.<\/p>\n

The agenda (the latest version) for the meeting in Quito (6-10th April 2015), developed in close collaboration with Grupo FARO and the other participants is below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This time around, too, we will begin to talk about the future of the initiative. Should it continue into a second phase? Can some of the teams (or pairs within them) take on more intensive and substantive collaborations?<\/p>\n

We expect that The Exchange\u2019s future will be shaped by the participants themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
