During 5 days, their representatives will present their actions and the aspects that make them unique and successful, in order to inspire each other's work. 

Feeding from others' experiences, this Forum will be the opportunity for participants to determine the best ways to increase the impact of their practice: whether by scaling it, using it as evidence for advocacy, etc.
