Submission

Roundtable discussion proposals should pertain to cultural accessibility and social inclusion projects or cases that were initiated and have continued to gain progress in recent years.

Roundtable Exchange activities are characterized by case sharing that is concise and diverse in nature. They are similar to poster presentations but focus on sharing and introducing the highlights of practical cases. This activity will be one of the highlights of the International Conference, where participants are encouraged to learn from the practical experiences of others.

Participants will include roundtable presenters and attendees. Presenters will be invited by the organizer or selected from submitted proposals. Attendees can choose which roundtable topic area to join according to their interests.

Several sessions of roundtable discussions will be arranged during the conference period; each session lasts for an hour. A variety of topic areas will be discussed in each roundtable session, with each table dedicated to one topic area (depending on the space of the venue).

Each invited presenter should prepare presentation content of 5-6 minutes and reserve 10 minutes for discussion. In each one-hour roundtable session, each presenter will repeat the presentation three times for different groups of attendees. The presentation content may include the concept of a project, its implementation highlights, project features and outcomes. Presenters can also provide visual aids and supplementary materials, such as brochures, photos, videos, documents, and any other materials that can fit on a table of 180 cm by 75 cm and are helpful for the roundtable exchange.
