New Blog on the August 2011 Riots
In the days and weeks that followed the August 2011 riots it was hardly possible to enter into a room without simultaneously entering into a discussion about the riots, their protagonists, possible causes and consequences. Hoping that the eagerness to discuss has not ceased in the meanwhile, we invite you to debate the August 2011 riots with us on the CCIG Blog. In the weeks to come we will set-up three blogs on the CCIG – webpage. Each blog will revolve around one of the three workshop themes we have planned for the afternoon session of the forthcoming CCIG forum.
