Asia HPSR Co-Creation Series
March Marketplace
March 31st 9:00 AM GMT-12:00 PM GMT
Welcome
Following the May 2021 convening, co-creation participants formed action groups around key priority areas.
Over the last several months, these groups have been refining ideas to strengthen the HPSR ecosystem and achieve the vision they co-developed last year.
On March 31st, these action groups will have the opportunity to present 1-2 of these ideas to the wider co-creation group.
Leading up to the event, facilitators will continuously update this page with resources relevant to presenters and participants. A run of show will also be shared soon.
To Learn more about the action groups presenting, visit the Action tab here.

The March re-convening will be an opportunity for action groups to showcase and iterate on promising ideas and action plans with the wider co-creation group.
