  Inaugurant les travaux du Forum, cette session présente la philosophie du Forum et en rappelle les enjeux. Elle permet à des représentants des grandes familles d’acteurs (responsables politiques, entreprises, ONG, syndicats…) de donner corps au projet collectif qui sous-tend le Forum.
  Elle est l’occasion d’en préciser les principes directeurs : la volonté de conduire des débats constructifs dans le respect de la pluralité des points de vue, l’ancrage des réflexions dans des pratiques et la volonté de parvenir à des propositions d’action impliquant les partenaires, un processus collectif qui vise à devenir un laboratoire permanent d’initiatives et d’expérimentations.
