“Your discussions [at the Forum 2000 Conference] are even more relevant in the context of the recent controversy about the caricatures depicting Prophet Mohammed.”
Kofi A. Annan, United Nations Secretary General, 2006

Methods and Resources

Methods

Toward the above goals the project will apply an integrative and multi-dimensional approach. This comprises a series of workshops for different audiences with the participation of international (including Czech) experts. Due to the carefully determined sequence of the workshops, each one is able to build upon the results of the previous ones, gradually expanding the scope. The meetings take place in Prague except for (at least) one organized in a Middle Eastern country.

Resources

The Forum 2000 Foundation has initiated the project and is providing coordination and management support. Nevertheless, substantial support from partners including private companies is necessary in order to carry out the workshops and ensure the attendance of international participants. In return, diverse opportunities for the partners are provided. In terms of non-material resources, the project takes advantage of its inclusion in the Program for a Community of Energy, Water and Environment (EWE) that comprises a dozen scholars specializing in water issues, who represent institutions from European and Middle Eastern countries. The key partners in this framework are the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the Jordanian Higher Council for Science and Technology. At the political level, two senior leaders have provided their support and auspices: President Václav Havel and H.R.H. Prince El-Hassan bin Talal of Jordan. The project also follows the recent activities of the European Union that are related to the topic in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.
