International Symposium at the Georg Eckert Institute – 30th and 31st July.

On the 30 and 31 July 2014 the inaugural Arnhold Symposium took place at the Georg Eckert Institute (GEI). Experts from around the world gathered to discuss the potential of social media to act as an educational space for the development of peace. The central theme was the role of the new digital “educational space” in the Middle East, Africa and South America. The Arnhold Symposium concluded the tenure at the GEI of the first visiting professor for “Education and development for sustainable peace”, endowed by the American Henry H. Arnhold.
