The Black Sea Region in Flux, Aegina, Greece, 29 June- 4 July 2010
Building on two years of success, the International Black Sea Symposium (IBSS) project continues in 2010 with the 3rd International Black Sea Symposium on “The Black Sea Region in Flux”.
From 29 June to 4 July 2010 the International Centre for Black Sea Studies (ICBSS) will welcome young professionals and international experts on the island of Aegina, Greece, for an intensive course on Black Sea issues. The event’s working language will be English.
In 2010, a maximum of 40 participants will have the unique opportunity to gain insights into issues of importance for the Black Sea region during a four-day intensive course led by prominent experts. Interactive sessions focusing inter alia on security concerns, the role of key stakeholders like NATO and Russia, relations with the EU, or democratic institutions and good governance will be complemented by a series of workshops on conflict resolution methodology.
Participants will develop action recommendations for policy makers and civil society as well as project ideas to be pursued by them after the end of the Symposium. Relevant reading material will be provided in advance and participants will receive a certificate of attendance. They will also have the chance to experience beautiful summer days in the picturesque island of Aegina and become familiar with the local culture.
