Description

PLENARY ROOM CC1 Organised by the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM) in close collaboration with the Collectif Cobalt This session is led by a partner organisation and may not reflect the views of the OECD.

Join Cobalt, an interactive and participatory social experiment at the intersection between facts and fiction designed to immerse participants in the complex realities of mining communities. Through role-playing and storytelling, attendees will step into the shoes of various stakeholders—from mining company’s staff to artisanal miners—navigating the challenges and conflicts of the mineral value chain. This unique experience fosters empathy, sparks dialogue, and encourages collective reflection on fostering more responsible mining practices. Please note that this session will NOT be livestreamed.
