NG Forum

The Nehemiah Gateway Forum is an open platform of NG for the exchange of information and discussion of essential questions of today.

For this purpose, events are offered on the NG Campus in Albania and at German locations, including panel discussions, readings, exhibitions and symposia.

Learning, exchange and development are at the center of these events; contributions are not judged or censored. The views and points of view represented are those of the authors and commentators and therefore do not necessarily reflect the position of the NG Team.
