21 – 22 October 2008, The Baltic Sea Culture Centre, ul. Korzenna 33/35, Gdańsk

We have invited anthropologists, politologists, travellers, reporters and missionaries. We will listen to their relations, stories and experiences that they have gathered from all over the world, we will talk about motivations, inspirations and means of travelling, about a traveller’s workshop.

We will ask politologists, military and political strategists about the genesis of the 21st Century’s conflicts, about the nature and essence of modern wars. We will concentrate on the problem of civil and interethnical conflicts, religious and civil wars. We will ask about global terrorism, processes of globalisation and their influence on the international security.

During the two October days, we will invite You for a discussion that will centre around following meetings and panels:

> Travelling into alterity – panel of travellers, anthropologists, reporters and missionaries, which will be an exchange of experiences in different models of travelling into alterity and describing the world.
