{\textquotedblleft}Dear Prof. Kamberidou,

We have the pleasure to invite you to research and identify the Key Findings from our panel/focus group titled {\textquotedblleft}The Way to the Top{\textquotedblright}, a global conversation across 6 cities, on March 6th, in celebration of International Women{\textquoteright}s Day 2019, that knowl Social Enterprise is leading in Greece. [{\textellipsis}]\  What progress has been achieved in the past years with regards to the women{\textquoteright}s empowerment agenda in your country? {\textbullet} Where are the major challenges -and opportunities? \ {\textbullet} Who are the real change makers, the ones who can actively promote women{\textquoteright}s empowerment?\  {\textbullet} What can be done to promote the diversity, inclusivity and women{\textquoteright}s empowerment agenda?

\ \ \  The focus group/panel discussion will not exceed 60{\textquoteright}. All 6 panels (London, New York, Istanbul, Amman, Lahore and Athens) will start simultaneously (GR 15:30 / Arrival: 14:30).

The main points from each panel must be summarised in a brief paragraph and sent to London to BBC{\textquoteright}s Tim Willcox who is our global moderator. Tim, at the end of the {\textquoteright}global conversation{\textquoteright}, will read all SIX paragraphs, one from each city.

\ \  Kindly note that the findings will be incorporated into a whitepaper that will be shared across all networks. [{\textellipsis}] {\textquotedblleft} See attachment
