The training took place within the framework of the ‘Training for international diplomats’ program of the Federal Foreign Office. The core of the workshop was the simulation game OMARIA, dealing with the challenges and chances of an enhanced regional integration. The simulation was adapted to contemporary challenges in the region and participants discussed from various perspectives the topics of “Freedom of movement”, “Democratic standards” as well as “Adaption to climate change”.
