The workshop ‘Natural Resources,
Energy and the Environment for Central Asia and the Caucasus’ was held
from March 7-10, 2013 in Tbilisi (Georgia). This workshop is organized
by the Volkwagen Foundation and Giessen University, Center for
International Development and Environmental Research (ZEU).
The workshop was aiming to identify current research directions and to explore
possibilities for cooperation between researchers in Germany, Central
Asia and the Caucasus. Discussion topics of the workshop sessions will
address interdisciplinary research strategies as well as methodological
research questions on a regional scale.
The work process -Interactive World Café group #1 |
There
are about 70 participants from Central Asia and Caucasus and Europe.
During these days we had an excellent opportunity to work in small
groups in Interactive World Café. It was really very interesting
experience. All of us could make contributions within this time. This
also helped us to meet and get aquainted with new contacts.
All
participants had a good opportunity to learn about the country by
visiting Aragvi valley, Mleta and Gudauri. We were all very impressed by the city tour introducing special architecture and old
historical buildings.
