Executive Summary

The European Council invited Future Worlds Center to participate in the Faro Action Plan 2016-2017. The Faro Convention Labs are organised with the participation of interested member States and communities to further explore the Faro Convention principles and their effective implementation. The Labs include a series of events for a period of 2-3 days based on the availability of the host community, and involve stakeholders at national, local and community levels. The labs intend to expand a group of participants from each country so they can work together on their return to promote and implement the Faro Convention. While the specific topic of each Lab is decided together with the host community, overall objectives include:

• Promotion of the Faro Convention with local and national stakeholders
  
• Becoming familiar with the Faro Convention approach
  
• Enhancing the Faro Convention Network
  
• Skill building for the implementation of the Faro Convention principles
