3. Instructions for Working Groups
The Working Groups are requested to reflect on national experiences with GHS implementation across the key sectors from the perspective of governments, industry, and public interest and labour organisations.
For each of 4 themes there is a 1-page “thought starter” with suggested guidance questions intended to stimulate discussion
All groups will use English as the language for discussions, with one group for Russian speaking participants (interpretation is not available during the working groups)

4. Instructions for Working Groups
As the first order of business, the working groups should select a Chair and a Rapporteur
The Chair will be responsible for guiding the discussions and ensuring a timely outcome, while the Rapporteur will be responsible for recording working group discussions in a chart to be provided.
For practical reasons, we recommend that the Chair/Rapporteur designated within each group for the first theme remain the same for the 3 following themes
The Chair/Rapporteurs of each of the groups will meet together afterwards (e.g. in the evening of day 2 and lunch break of day 3) to consolidate the outcomes of the working groups in to a single PowerPoint presentation on each theme
These four presentations of the consolidated working groups’ output will be presented on Thursday afternoon during the concluding session
