The following is a preliminary schedule of World Forum activities. This schedule is subject to revision in the coming weeks as planning progresses. All events, with the exception of Study Tours on Tuesday, will take place at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.
World Forum registrants will be able to choose from a wide range of educational, cultural and recreational activities taking place on Tuesday. The World Forum Foundation is working with the early childhood community in Hawaii as well as the Working Groups of the World Forum to develop these activities. After these activities have been planned, all registrants will be given the opportunity to select on a first come first served basis, the activity they are most interested in. This opportunity will be part of the total experience of World Forum 2011 and is included in the registration fee.
