Therefore, IOM has now created a 2-part Afghanistan session. The sessions will be 2 hours long and will run over 2 consecutive afternoons. Each session will cover difference aspects of Afghan culture. If you’re interested in the Afghanistan Sessions, please register for both sessions below:

This session will be participatory and rely heavily on participant engagement through case studies and discussion, therefore we highly encourage participants to come prepared to have their cameras on during the session.
