Values, Ideas and Institutional Planning

Since 2021, I have delivered two Zoom lectures each month, bringing together values, intellectual questions and institutional planning. These sessions provide an ongoing space for dialogue, testing ideas and connecting them with the challenges of institutional work and decision-making. Every lecture has been recorded and preserved. The recordings are not currently published, but selected excerpts may be made available in the future.

CONTINUING CULTURAL AND TRAINING WORK

From Intellectual Dialogue to Institutional Planning

During this period, I continued delivering lectures and participating in seminars, alongside several workshops bringing together values, ideas and institutional planning. These engagements connected theoretical discussion with the challenges of decision-making, implementation and institution-building.

Strategic Planning for Political Parties
