Резюме: Центр по трансформации конфликтов «Imagine» организует диалог между молодёжными активистами Армении и Азербайджана. В начале проекта будет проведены семинары в Ереване и Баку, самые активные участники которых в период 26 июня — 4 июля примут участие в совместных армяно-азербайджанских встречах в одном из курортных городов Грузии. Цель встреч — разработать проекты для дальнейшего ведения армяно-азербайджанского диалога в режиме онлайн, что позволит вовлечь в диалог новые — ещё более широкие — группы участников с обеих сторон. Финальная часть «От диалога к действию 2010» предпологает осуществление разработанных проектов онлайн-общения армян и азербайджанцев в блогосфере и социальных сетях.
