IPWG at Agora KyivDuring the second day of the AGORA Kyiv it was time for the IPWG to present the Activity Report. Since Magusa, we have managed to organise a board meeting in Warwick between the 12 and 14 June, we had an online debate with our members on 23 June about the election results in Iran. Then we moved to Thessaloniki for the European Citizenship Training Course in October. Furthermore, we have been present in several Network Meetings, such as the ones in Heidelberg and also Thessaloniki, where we tried to show our work and the possibilities that we offer to the members of the International Politics Working Group. Last but not least, IPWG applied successfully for the Youth in Action grant for the India-South Africa pillar of Beyond Europe!!! All members and other AGORA participants were invited to listen to the Activity Report and ask their questions to the board members, who were holding proudly their flag during the whole presentation!!!

Debate on the Iranian electionsOn June 23, an online discussion was held by IPWG. The main topic discussed was the current situation in Iran. During the debates some very important and controversial questions were raised. Due to complexity of the issue the discussion also touched the problem of Israel and US regional policy. Still, a lot of questions remain without answer and need more detailed and thorough consideration, which is expected from our next meetings. We were very happy to welcome Ana, Anatoli, Emmanuel, Ilker, Marcin, Serkan, Thomas and Vera, and we want to thank them for expressing interest and contributing to launching the IPWG initiative. We hope that online discussions will become our good tradition and we encourage all of you to be part of the IPWG history!
