This was the first event in the project “Dialogues with Russia for a new generation of experts”, in which ESGA aims to engage the young generation of experts proactively in the efforts oriented on setting a new agenda for the dialogue with Russia and to encourage the participation into public debates.

During the second panel of the event, the participants had the opportunity to discuss different issues related to the Russian domestic politics during Putin’s last presidential term, using the OSM (Open Space Method). The OSM was chosen to ensure a truly participative working process where the participants can introduce and improve their knowledge, topics and ideas.

The event was organized within the project “Dialogues with Russia for a new generation of experts.”
