A Chat in the Yurt - Episode XXI: Education and Dialogue by A Chat in the Yurt

Step into our Yurt and join us for a monthly conversation on Europe-Central Asia developments. In these series of podcasts EUCAM welcomes guests from both regions to discuss exciting new research and the latest developments in Europe and Central Asia. Guests range from academics to policymakers and from journalists to civil society activists. What is happening in Europe that Central Asians should know about? What events are unfolding in Central Asia that Europeans should understand? Together, we discuss society trends, political developments, and economic turns while assessing the past and looking ahead to what may unfold.

In this episode, hosts Rashid Gabdulhakov and Kamila Smagulova are back in the classroom with Pal Dunay, director of the OSCE Academy in Bishkek, to discuss education in Central Asia. We learn about the OSCE Academy and the role it plays in educating talented youth from Central Asia and we hear about the OSCE Academy's research focus. Hosts and guest discuss the link between education and dialogue between people, groups and countries.
