CIMERA works in the  Caucasus,
Central
Asia and the Balkans
where the serious difficulties of the transition process are aggravated
by civil-wars and ethnic conflicts. In these regions, CIMERA is engaged
in long-term projects in the fields of media development, education politics
and research cooperation. Our activity is not limited to the transfer of
technical skills through training and education alone. We work together
with opinion-makers and advocates of social change to develop alternatives
to the current regional polarization. We facilitate the exchange between
Armenian and Azerbaijani journalists, the discussion of the concept of federalism
in the Balkans, and organize debates on the lessons to be learned from the
civil war in Tajikistan.
CIMERA is also active in Switzerland
where we initiate and conduct projects in the field of volunteering and
raise awareness on the importance of civic engagement for the democratic
functioning of a society. On the other hand, we aim at involving professional
circles and the larger public in an in-depth reflection about the complex
political, social and economic changes taking place in the regions wherein
we work. We give lectures, organize seminars, offer training and participate
as experts in various events related to our areas of specialization.
