learning events
The PCLG periodically organises or supports events that tackle key issues of relevance to Learning Group members. Some events will be organised specifically for members but we will also try to take advantage of existing international meetings where we can organise side events for more open participation.
This page provides details of those events including meeting reports and downloadable presentations. Learning Group members are welcome to suggest ideas for issues that might be explored at future events.
