Mijnaberd and Caucasus NGO Forum are organizing a Creative Game
'Strategic development of Armenia and Armenian civil society'. This is a
5-day long strategic seminar run with a special methodology in
Tsakhkadzor. It starts on May 27th and ends on June 1 (departure day).
Participants start moving at 8.30 on May 27 from next to Tamanyan
Monument in Yerevan.
Creative Game is a non-stop brainstorm using special methodology and
language (drawings, charts) for 30-120 people who work in groups all day
long and report back to the plenary in late evenings. It has an
agenda--topics of days--and names of groups. Its result is opening up
the minds and creative capacities of participants, building joint and
consensual philosophical visions, strategies and conceptual language,
and coming up with concrete ideas and tools for follow up. It is
facilitated by Game-Methodologists--specialist experts in
'de-object-ising' people's minds and creative capacities and in
observing and registering the ways of thinking.
The Armenian Committee of Game-Methodologists was created in 1989. In
2003, a Caucasus Game-Methodologists Committee (CMC) was created, and
the group run several strategic Creative Games--all-Caucasian, as well
as in Georgia, Abkhazia and South Russia, sponsored by EU, UN etc.
This Creative Game is organised by Mijnaberd, an Armenian NGO, and
Caucasus NGO Forum--a network of NGOs from all over the Caucasus whose
office is currently in Yerevan.
The Game will be discussing many strategic issues pertinent to today's
Armenia and Armenians-Armenia after the collapse of the USSR, Armenia
and Artsakh, Armenia in the world, global issues, Armenia and Armenians,
Armenia in the region, issues with Turkey and Azerbaijan, civil society,
development, etc.
The Game is sponsored by private individuals and Open Society Institute
Armenia.
The results of the game will be summarised within a month and widely
distributed, and will become available on-line.
If you wish to participate at your own expense, please let know Nune
Dlianyan, Vice-Chair of Mijnaberd and Game-Methodologist, at
[email protected]. You will have to arrive to Tsakhkadzor in time and be
obliged to take part in the entire duration of the Game. The language
is Armenian. You will have to pay your fees for travel, accommodation
and subsistence. You may have to accommodate yourself in a nearby
hotel rather than the one where the Game takes place (The University
Hotel). Participation is free.
