Preparation of the Meetings
For the 11th of December each partner will have to prepare 10-15 minutes presentation describing a major area or issue of conflict in his or her own city / country / society and explain how artists (in general or organisations) are trying to (or failing to!) address it.

For the 13th of December, each partner will prepare a second presentation identifying an area of conflict or potential conflict in his/her respective organisation and the response(s) to it (whether effective or not). It would be interesting that at the end of the presentation about three questions be asked to the other partners. The questions are meant to launch the discussion and engage our partners in the search for solutions as well as new perspectives.
