The Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research – on behalf of which ASO Ljubljana had operated - decided not to extend funding for ASO Ljubljana beyond 2011 in order to have resources available for new initiatives and policy instruments in the field of international scientific cooperation.
Although ASO Ljubljana does not exist anymore, there are two activities left from ASO Ljubljana’s work program which will be carried out by the Centre for Social Innovation by the end of February:
1. a workshop on “Intercultural Dialogue in Theory and Practice in SEE” in
Maribor/Slovenia on 28th of February (contact: Miroslav Polzer,
polzer@zsi.at) and
2. a publication on "Changing Identities in South Eastern Europe: Between
Europeanisation, Globalisation, Regionalisation and Nationalism” based on the 5th ASO Ljubljana Call http://www.aso.zsi.at/ausschreibung/3506.html
(contact: Hanna Scheck, scheck@zsi.at)

The International Workshop “Intercultural Dialogue in Theory and Practice in SEE”
will be held at the
venue: Rectorate of University of Maribor
date: on 28th of February 09.00 – 17.00h
in the context of the fact that Maribor is European Cultural Capital in the year 2012 http://www.maribor2012.info/en/
The workshop will bring together experts/researchers on intercultural dialogue from Austria, Slovenia and SEE countries (with a focus on communication, education and sustainable development in cities) who will elaborate on possibilities to evaluate and improve intercultural dialogue policies and programs in Southeast Europe based on experience gained in the context of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue http://www.interculturaldialogue2008.eu/ and SEE Regional Action plan of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAoC) www.unaoc.org (having in mind also the fact that UNAoC Annual Forum 2013 is going to be held in Austria).
Another field of interest of the workshop will be the role of intercultural dialogue as key element of sustainable development in cities with a link to Ljubljana Forum on the Future of Cities http://www.ljubljanaforum.org/ and potentials for providing specific SEE input to UN Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 www.uncsd2012.org which will take place in June 2012.
Partners of the event:
