Youth Leadership20 IDEC 2012 has been designed so that youth are

ully integrated into the conerence through theYouth Forum. The youth rom dierent countries

will not only be providing support organizing and

moderating activities, they will propose and do! They

have undertaken the responsibility or opening the

plenary sessions, acilitating the workshops and the

IDEC Dialogues, and will actively participate by tak-

ing positions and generating proposals throughout

the conerence. I you have not yet joined this collec-

tive, you can still do so during the Conerence.

Its your Conerence!

LanguagesAt IDEC conerences, it is common or dierent

cultures and languages to live together, understandeach other, and create new riendships and col-

laborations. English is the language most commonly

spoken across countries attending IDEC. So, although

the IDEC 2012 is being held in Puerto Rico, a span-

ish speaking country, we have taken both languages

into consideration. Throughout the program there

are many alternatives in either language and all ple-

nary activities will have simultaneous tra

plenaries, IDEC Dialogues and Room 4 Yu

will host Featured Speakers will have simtranslation rom spanish to english and v

We will also have simultaneous translatio

man and korean language. Throughout t

all activities that have simultaneous tran

In the daily program tables, the activities

english appear with english titles and th

that are in spanish appear in spanish. Its

Workshop DesignOne o the most un and challenging asp

organizing the 20 IDEC 2012 has been ex

ing with new ways o carrying out works

conerences and dialogues. We wanted t

consistent space to ve thematic conver

next and leave you eeling deeply engaged with that

theme. Alternatively, you could participate in ever y-

thing and take a broader view o the set o themes.

We also wanted to eature a ew presenters and to

oer you plenty o Open Spaces or presenting and

participating. Weve let rooms or spontaneous and

emerging conversations in every workshop block. Its

your Conerence!

202020 and 3030 PanelThis is a shorthand description or a new kind o

workshop structure in which 2 or 3 presenters share

quick, powerul presentations on convergent topics,

in 20 or 30 minute intervals (kind o TED Talk style).

This space will be acilitated by 20 IDEC 2012 vol-

unteers. Ater all three have presented, then a ully

open dialogue is initiated with the audience about

what olks are learning, unlearning and thinking. Its

your Conerence!

Open SpacesOpen Spaces were created so that every par ticipantwho wants to organize workshops, conerences and

dialogues can do so reely. This means that any per-

son can suggest an Open Space covering any topic;

they only need to propose i t. At 20 IDEC 2012, we will

set a table close to the registration area to sched-

ule the Open Spaces. In each concurrent workshop

session, we will have our or ve rooms reserved

or this ormat. This should, o course, not limit the

emergence o open spaces at other times and places

during the event. Its your Conerence!

Open Spaces unction on the basis o our principles:

1. Those who arrive are the right people.

2. Whatever happens is what had to happen.

3. They start when the time is right.

4. They end when they are do ne.

Boricua TimeSessions are planned to end 20 minutes beore the

next one is scheduled, unless it is otherwise speci-

ed in the schedule. For example, i workshops start

at 10:40 am, then the opening ceremony should end

at 10:20 am. Presenters will do their best to ensure

that the start and end o the sessions fow. These

ree spaces should leave enough time or you to

move rom one session to the other, hydrate, interact

socially and take care o any other matter you deem

necessary. A cultural note: In Puerto Rico, a fowing

sense o time is oten lovingly joked about as Bo-ricua Time.

We hope that you will ollow the Law o Two Feetin

knowing that you are always in the right place at the

right time, or i not, that you will correct that by mov-

ing to another place where you eel comortable. I

you join a session that has already started; thats ne.

Just remember that you came in late, join up at the

point the session is in without de laying the group.

Its your Conerence!

Visits to schoolsIn order to amiliarize yoursel with several edu-

cational models in the Puerto Rican context, you

will have the opportunity o visiting our dierentschools: Nuestra Escuela in Cagua s, Diego Vzquez

Elementary School in Caguas, the Sor Isolina Ferr

Humacao. The spaces available or these visits are

limited, so make sure you register on time at the

tourism table. Further inormation can be ound in
