2021 World Council
#UCLGMeets Smart cities and territories, pillars of the common agenda
On this page, you will find relevant logistical information to guide you through the hybrid format of our UCLG World Council, as well as some indications to consider before the meetings depending on the way you will participate (online or in-person).
In the last months, we have already started to implement a hybrid format to our meetings, first with the Culture Summit in Izmir, then with the World Forum of Intermediary Cities in Kütahya. After opening the windows of the Global Home during our Retreat this year, we want this hybrid World Council to follow these trends and to make all our online and in-person participants feel at home!

Online participation
The way we meet is evolving. We have prepared an information note for online participants, to guide you through the different virtual processes of the World Council. As usual, we count on your active participation: please do not hesitate to use the “raise your hand” option during the sessions. The moderators will try to accommodate as many interventions as possible. As all the sessions will take place via Zoom, we highly recommend to ensure you have the most recent version of the app downloaded (tutorial here).
The World Secretariat remains at your disposal for any further information: UCLGExBu@uclg.org.
