Generation Peace: New Media Technologies For Central Asia Conference

Call for Applications

May 15-18, 2013

Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan

The Association of Fulbrighters of The Kyrgyz Republic would like to invite local activists from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to attend the Regional Conference “Generation Peace: New Media Technologies For Central Asia”, which will take place in Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan on May 15-18, 2013.

The 1^st Central Asian Generation Peace Conference 2013 is intended to bring together community leaders from across Central Asia (CAR) to accumulate peace-building resources and expertise to contribute to preventing conflicts and building peace in the region. The Conference pursues two main goals:

1. To enhance the skills and knowledge of community leaders in using media to promote reconciliation and peace-building initiatives in the CAR in an accurate and fair manner;
2. To facilitate new projects that can advance  rule of law, religious tolerance, and sustainable ethnic peace in the CAR through both traditional and new media. 

Local activists (media, arts, NGOs, and academia) will participate in an intensive conflict analysis and conflict management techniques, peace media training course and discussion sessions. The regional conference will result in a number of follow-up projects and a series of articles to be published in local media.

The conference is designed for a maximum of 40 participants from 5 Central Asian states. Trainers are attracted from the leading media and peace-building organisations of USA, Europe, and CIS. The working languages are English and Russian.

Potential participants have to submit an application and a concept paper describing their professional experience, leadership potential and project ideas for follow-up projects which they would like to implement. The selection process is competitive and based on the following criteria:

• Leadership experience;
• Project idea;
• Innovative approach (ICT, social media, etc.);
• Balance of representation from Central Asian region.

Successful candidates will be invited, all expenses paid, to attend the conference in Issyk-Kul to participate in panel sessions, workshops, and discussions.

Hi everyone! With Thanksgiving coming up on November 22, in the USA we're about to start another delicious holiday season - and we'd love some recipe ideas! Please contribute to the holiday food discussion - and I will try to prepare a few of the dishes! 

I am looking forward to trying some delicious food!

Today, in honor of Ghana’s 55^th Independence Day, I encourage you to think about what “independence” means to you. When is Tajikistan’s Independence Day? How do you celebrate? What effect has independence had on your country, if any? Let us know in the new discussion going on, titled “Independence Days Around the World”!

I want to know your mind, if you were asking: "Describe a social, political, or economic issue that is important to you. Why is this issue important to you, and how do you hope your participation in the Civic Education Workshop will help you to address this issue when you return home?" - what would you answer?
