RISE-Africa welcomes a diversity of session types in addition to those listed below. We encourage sessions and hosts to push the boundaries on the format, creativity and interactivity of the session where it would be valuable to forming new connections and inspiring actions from participants..
Session Types:
* Dialogue & Performance Sessions: These are considered to be more passive sessions comprising panel discussions, 1-1 dialogues or interviews and artistic performances, be it film screening, music, poetry, multimedia showcases or other forms of creative expression.
*Action Sessions: These are active workshop-style sessions which aim to develop an idea; to draw people together (matchmaking); to produce something or shape an idea/project; to bring people together to produce a piece of art or creative output; to launch a programme or initiative and so forth.
*Trainings: A focused training session on a specific idea/concept/methodology which can improve an aspect of urban development. All training sessions must have a contextual awareness of African cities and provide participants with a clear indication of what they will gain or learn.
* Field Trips or Tours: These sessions will aim to give participants a city life in various contexts and places. This session leader may provide a live Instagram tour, lead a walking tour on a digital platform with narration, take participants through a project, building or place.
*Provocation: Through a 3 to 5 minute talk the aim is to share ideas/work and provoke viewers with a new idea, or a way of doing things - Please submit video provocations here:
