General Questions

How can I take part?

Sorry, you have to be invited by phone, so please don’t contact us to be a participant.

However, you can sign up to get our announcements, follow us on twitter, or link to our site to spread the word about WWViews. From September 27 we will be publishing all the results of the global event, so please come back here then!

Who is funding WWViews in Australia?

The University of Technology, Sydney is the major event sponsor. Other in-kind or financial sponsorship is being provided by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, National Australia Bank, WWF Australia and the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE).

What will participants do at the event?

At the event participants will work together in small groups through different sessions, each introduced with a short video clip. They will sit together with 6-8 other citizens around a round table and have the opportunity to discuss with them and vote about certain important issues. The final session will consist of making a recommendation together with other citizens to the politicians and negotiators at the United Nations climate meeting in December. Finally the overall results will be announced, and, where possible (eg. given time constraints) the Australian results compared to those generated around the world at other World Wide Views events. This information will also be available through the project website and project report, which will be distributed widely after the event.
