- The opening ceremony started with a minute of silence for those people lost in the recent Ecuadorian earthquake. After that, several brilliant leaders shared with us the importance of freedom of expression and right to peacefully assemble. Closing was an indigenous Quechua musical group that really brought the feeling of Andes to the room!
