So far, neither the European Union nor the Arab League have come up with convincing proposals. This simulation workshop aims at encouraging participants to develop potential outcomes for this year's popular uprisings that have swept across Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other North African and Middle Eastern countries.
Participants will develop innovative ideas in two groups representing the EU and the Arab League. The group exercises will be followed by the result presentation, a discussion and the development of potential solutions and strategies to set the scene for a better EuroArab future. Two board members of the Brussels-based EuroArab Forum ( www.euroarab-forum.eu) will have the pleasure to moderate and steer this workshop and to draft a report with the proposed solutions which shall be published shortly after the workshop.

Moderators:
- Rouba Al-Fattal Eeckelaert, Vice-President, EuroArab Forum
- Olaf Deussen, President, EuroArab Forum
