Held at the ECOSOC Chamber of the United Nations Headquarters in New York bring, the event will bring together key experts in e-learning and IRD/ICD, as well as practitioners and users of virtual IRD/ICD knowledge platforms. During the discussion, organizers and panellists will present tools and good practices they developed and used to share knowledge on IRD/ICD. They will discuss opportunities for utilizing these tools in the context of social cohesion, focusing on the networking possibilities at local, national and international levels. 

Speakers will also address the challenges they face when using online tools, and will exchange on possible ways to overcome them. Together they will try to identify potential mechanisms that can support the continued exchange of lessons learned and good practices.
