Dear Members of the World Council,
As you know, the World Council will take place from 5 to 8 November in Madrid, back-to-back with the second edition of the World Forum on Urban Violence and Education for Coexistence and Peace, at the kind invitation of Mayor Manuela Carmena.
DRAFT PROGRAMME
The key institutional day for UCLG will be 6 November, where both the Executive Bureau and World Council will gather around business sessions and a political debate.
- Monday 5 November: Opening of the Forum, Financial Management Committee and Committee on Statutory Affairs, as well as thematic sessions.
- Wednesday 7 November: Policy Councils and Ibero-American Local Forum
As you might know the dates of the World Council coincide unavoidably with the meeting of our sister organization AIMF in Lille (where many of our members are also expected). The proposed programme above is the best compromise that both Secretariats have been able to find. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of the clash which we have not been able to prevent given the busy last quarter of the year for our networks, with an unprecedented number of mobilizations both at regional and global level.
