Call for Participation in Green Academy 2017 in Armenia
10 October, 2017
The South Caucasus Regional Office of the Heinrich Boell Foundation announces a call for participation in the Green Academy 2017 in Armenia!
The School will take place on November 25-29, 2017, in Aghveran.
The Green discourse is marginal and peripheral in Armenia, yet the green problematic and the issue areas it covers have a central presence in the broader fabric of the country's political, economic, and social life. The ever-present specter of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, constitutive of the entire political, economic, and societal climate in the country, begs the question of how the conflict could possibly transition to a state of sustained and perpetual peace and what prospects that transition could possibly have for the region. The Green Academy of Armenia will discuss whether the green vision of promoting local diversity, autonomy, steady-state economy, de-privatization, local economic self-reliance could become alternatives capable of remedying those problems.
