| 25/30 minutes | Five to six presenters share their papers, with 5 minutes each to speak. The audience may ask brief questions for clarification at this stage. |
| 30 minutes | In groups of three, delegates discuss the papers, develop longer and meaningful questions or comments and record them on the provided sheet and pass to the Session Chair. |
| 25-30 minutes | The Session Chair presents the questions received from the audience to the presenters, guiding an open and meaningful exchange of discussion where the audience can respond and join the discussion. |
