PROGRAMME
The Dialogue workshop strived to enable open, meaningful dialogue over its three days. The agenda was therefore developed with a number of formal presentations mixed with opportunities for discussions in both smaller groups and in plenum.
The seminar flowed through the following six sessions:

Session I: Biological and Cultural Diversity and Diverse Knowledge Systems
Expected outcome: Understanding and respecting Diversity in human-nature inter-relationships and knowledge systems
Expected outcome: Understanding and respecting Diversity in human-nature inter-relationships and knowledge systems
Session II: Experiences of exchange between knowledge systems regarding ecosystem assessment, management, ecosystem functions, and ecosystem services
Expected outcome: Insights about Indigenous knowledge systems, Science , and understanding of key factors behind successful cases of exchange between knowledge systems.
Expected outcome: Insights about Indigenous knowledge systems, Science , and understanding of key factors behind successful cases of exchange between knowledge systems.
Session III: Experiences of knowledge validation from diverse knowledge systems and barriers and bridges for adaptation and exchange.
Expected outcomes: Understanding of potentials and limitations of validation in diverse knowledge systems in assessments and other applications.

Session IV: Documenting, storing, sharing, and controlling access to and benefits from knowledge and information from different knowledge systems, including access to and benefits from scientific knowledge by Indigenous Peoples and Local communities.
Expected outcomes: Understanding different options for exchange and protection of documented knowledge, including advantages and limitations, related to diverse knowledge systems and data storage systems.

Session V: Promoting Diversity of Knowledge as an Underlying Principle and Cross-cutting approach in ecosystem assessments and the work of Intergovernmental science-policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
Expected Outcome: Opportunities identified for connecting across knowledge systems and provide positive synergies.
Expected Outcome: Opportunities identified for connecting across knowledge systems and provide positive synergies.
Concluding Session: Way forward
Expected Outcome:
• Recommendations for how to include diverse knowledge systems in knowledge generation and ecosystem assessments in IPBES.
• Starting from the opportunities identified for connecting across knowledge systems to provide positive synergies, a framework for the third phase of the project. “Knowledge for the 21st Century: Indigenous knowledge, Traditional knowledge, Science and connecting diverse knowledge systems” will be outlined, for further presentation at Stakeholder meeting and side event at the Second Session of the IPBES.
• Plan for presentation of the outcomes of the Dialogue in Stakeholder forum and Side Event in IPBES second Plenary Session.
