SEMINAR- Social Problems and Civil Society in Central Asia, Warsaw, May 27

Posted by: Wojciech Tworkowski <wtworkowski@batory.org.pl>

The Stefan Batory Foundation has the honour to invite you to a seminar on:

"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. Some of our guests were:
Kofi Anan, Vaclav Havel, Henry Kissinger, Ralf Dahrendorf, Samuel
Huntington, Vladimir Milov, Lilia Shevtsova, Konstantin Zatulin as well
as many leading politicians and experts from Central and Eastern
European countries.

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.
