About Workshops
What is a workshop?
Workshop is a gathering of people working together to solve a problem or accomplish a task. AFT Workshops take place in-person.

Who can propose a workshop?
Anybody can propose an idea and become a workshop organizer by filling out a Workshop Proposal Form.
Each workshop needs 2 or more workshop organizers.

When a workshop description is completed, we will post it on this site and publicize it to attract participants.
What do workshop organizers do?
Workshop organizers:
- define the problem and submit the workshop proposal,
- invite interested participants to apply and collect their input,
- select participants from among the applicants,
- get in touch with all registered participants ahead of the workshop,
- organize and run the workshop,
- prepare a summary report about the outcome.

What does AFT do?
AFT provides a room and facilities to meet, helps with publicity and registration. AFT is not responsible for the content of the workshop, its organization and participant recruitment.
How are workshops run?
Workshops can run from 2 to 6 hours (with breaks), depending on the number of participants and the scope of the task.

All workshops must include:
Preparatory Phase - prior to the Workshop: contact registered participants, answer questions, send the agenda, etc...
Phase 1 - at the Workshop: introductions, presentations, discussion.
Phase 2 - at the Workshop: setting goals, making plans and assigning tasks
Propose a Workshop
As a workshop organizer, you will have maximum impact at the Forum by defining the focus of the workshop, inviting participants and driving the meeting agenda.
All workshop submissions must be received by April 1, 2022.

The Program Committee will be in touch with you to create the workshop page on our site and help you register participants for your workshop.

Selection Criteria. The final selection of workshops to be included in the forum will be based on
- the expected impact of the workshop on the economic, social and cultural development of Armenian Republic and Artsakh,
- the prospects of new collaborations, and
- the number of registered participants.
