Dear Jost,
great! So, now I can "activate" Iran (making it the 132nd os-country on
the map) and add Iran to your list of countries in the world map.
While looking through the archives of our listserve searching for Iran I
found a long string where Raffi spoke of some of his ancestors coming
from there...so thats part of his interest.
Interesting that you mentioned a German political Foundation as being
one of the sponsors. You know but most of the members of our list
probably dont that there are 5 major political Foundations not only
active in Germany and Europe but all over the world and interested in
supporting innovative approaches. The training I conducted in Karachi
for people from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka (the Indians
could not attend because of tensions which resulted in them not getting
visas)was sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, associated with the
Social Democratic Party in Germany. I facilitate about 8 os events on
various topics around youth violence in Germany for them.
My closest contact at the Foundation is now at the office of this
Foundatin in Shanghai...I think they have close to 100 offices around
the world...I am reporting on this at some length to encourage
os-workers around the world to look at their programs and activities
which are in many of the fields that many of us are engaged in.
Greetings from Berlin

PS: Jost, have a look at your updated osmap entry

Dear Michael,
I have just facilitated one OST for three hours last week during an
associated meeting of the Asian Broadcasting Union (ABU) 44th General
Assembly hosted by the government of Iran. The number of participants
were only 20 people from countries as Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos,
Thailand, Iran, Nepal, Indonesia and Fiji. Topic was how to overcome
the digital divide. Most of the participants were senior managers of
the respective national broadcasting stations. The event was
sponsored by a German political Foundation and the ABU Secretariat.
The location was kind of nice although very spontaneous. We conducted
it in the teahouse area of the huge congress center of the Islamic
Republic Iranian Broadcasting (IRIB). While we the open space took
place we could enjoy some of the amazing teas.
Best regards from Thailand
