It was three days of collective reflection, honest exchange and shared ambition, and we are still energised by everything that came out of it.<br>
<br>
In this edition, you will find the full meeting report, a summary of the key conclusions and the four Lines of Action that emerged as the principal outcome of our time together. These lines of action,<strong> </strong>on<strong> narratives, coordination, mobility and advocacy,</strong> represent our<strong> shared roadmap for the period ahead,</strong> and we hope they will serve as a reference and an invitation to get involved.<br>
We are proud of what we built together in Bilbao, and we look forward to turning those conversations into concrete action, with all of you.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, we wish everyone a restful and restorative couple of months. Take care of yourselves, and see you on the other side! ☀️</span><br>
