Learning about the "arabic spring" and related processes and transfer these insights to encounters with Latin American students and vice versa. Transfer experiences from Latin American civil societies to members of civil societies in Arabic countries.
In my professional activities (35 years dealing with Latin America, via teaching, writing and conference activies) I accumulated a large bopy of experiences as to transition, democracy building, intercultural relations and foreign policy alternatives. To be shared with colleagues in my country.
Intensify debates on intercultural relations and activites of civil societies both in Austria and in Latin American countries and reach actors beyond the university realm.
