The first secretary for the German Embassy in Pakistan, Christian Boettcher, also had a talk on Prosperity through Regional Connectivity in the ISW on August 25.
Purpose of International Summer Workshop
The Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) Pakistan and the National Dialogue Forum (NDF) have created an opportunity for young students from Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Iran to connect by participating in the summer workshop program in Pakistan.
This event aims to bring together a diverse group of young socio-political multipliers from several countries, races, and cultures under one roof.
This is an important way to create synergies and regional cooperation with future generation leaders.
The purpose is to provide them with the chance to exchange political and economic perspectives on global events and discover how these developments may affect nations in South Asia and Central Asia in particular.
The program is designed to be academic and participatory, with participants encouraged to discuss and learn from one another’s experiences. Experts from various fields will lead sessions to give the present, contemporary, and historical context on the topics of this summer workshop program.
Furthermore, group discussions/brainstorming, indoor and outdoor games, hikes, bonfires, and other activities also occur.
