SEMINAR- Social Problems and Civil Society in Central Asia, Warsaw, May 27
"Social Problems and Civil Society in Central Asia"
Warsaw (Poland), May 27, 10 AM - 4 PM
The main aim of the seminar is to provide better insight into the key social problems in Central Asia, in the development context of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The seminar is supposed to gather several experts from Central Asia, as well as officials dealing with Central Asia and development cooperation programming, NGO representatives, and researchers from Poland and other Central European countries. We hope that the seminar can be a space for communication between the different parties involved in development cooperation with Central Asia, influencing better planning and more effective assistance in this region.
Format: Expert panel followed by a roundtable discussion
Language: English and Russian (simultaneous translation between the two available)
The Stefan Batory Foundation, the biggest Polish private foundation, has extensive experience in organising major international conferences, aimed at informing decision-makers and public opinion about the complex problems of the contemporary world. A number of those events focused on the problems faced by Newly Independent States.
We look forward to hearing from you and we kindly ask that you confirm your participation (stating your affiliation) until May 23.
Full info and agenda will be available on our website shortly.
