ICWG Meeting

The next Local Contexts Indigenous Communities Working Group meeting will be held September 5.

For this meeting, we will ask for your feedback on new features on the Local Contexts Hub, including those recently added, in development, or under consideration. We are also interested in your general questions and feedback. To see a few Hub updates from this year, you can read this blog post.

Current members of the Working Group should have an email and calendar invite with connection details. If you are interested in the group, you can read more and submit your interest on our Working Groups and Networks page.

The Indigenous Communities Working Group (ICWG) brings together Indigenous community members and Indigenous community staff internationally to support communities who are either using or interested in using the Labels. Meetings include members sharing their experiences customizing and using the Traditional Knowledge and Biocultural Labels, group discussions around Local Contexts and the Hub, Local Contexts updates and feedback, and more. There are currently over 120 group members.
