All participants will be able to attend the plenary sessions and take part in workshops and events before, during and after the conference. Green parties and political movements are being invited to nominate delegates who will represent them during the formal plenary sessions.
The conference is the centrepiece of two weeks of special events starting with the first ever meeting of Global Young Greens in Sydney on 7--9 April. As well there will be --
a workshop on alliances in Sydney on Tuesday 10 April
a round table on 'Rio+10', leading up to the tenth anniversary of the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in Canberra
the Global Greens 2001 conference from 14-16 April in Canberra, including sessions on the Global Greens Charter and Declaration, practical Green politics, and global issues
tours and workshops after the conference, including a multicultural experience in Melbourne, a visit to the world's tallest hardwood trees in Tasmania, and seminars on nuclear waste and forestry in Western Australia.
Australia's national folk festival will be on in Canberra at the same time, so there'll be great music and dancing. And keep some space for seeing a bit of Australia while you're here.
