Casual Café Talk

In the morning before the serious sessions, why don’t we have a little break with your global peers while having tea or coffee?

We extend a special invitation to all participants to join in the informal talk session scheduled on the morning of the 18^th (10:00 – 11:00). We would like to set up a time slot for casual talks so that we can frankly discuss our recent experiences related to COVID 19. This virtual cafe can be a great place for getting to know someone with the same view or difficulty and /or an opportunity for those who are looking for international connections.

The café has four separate rooms with a coordinator according to your interests. You may choose one, or you can jump around to join in the other discussions. All you need is to bring your beverages and a topic to share with your peers!
