The guideline for the course is “Content, Culture, Social”. The intensive schedule allows for serious varied practical work (Exercises, analytical methods, panels, discussions etc..), specific cultural aspects of the region (protocol, security aspects etc..) and social (receptions, official lunch etc..)
