REFLECT
|  | Helping realise Myanmar's potential | Emerging from five decades of economic and political isolation, the recent transformation of Myanmar has been one of the most striking features of Asian development, with a unique mix of opportunities and challenges. This week, we are proud to welcome a diverse group of 24 participants from Myanmar for the second edition of our three-week training course on 'Managing International Relations, Governance and Public Participation', in cooperation with the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).

ACT
|  | "Saper vedere - knowing how to see" - Leonardo da Vinci
| Action depends on perception. Decisions are based on a sequence of seeing, evaluating, judging and finally acting. Seeing without understanding generally leads to misguided judgment and action. This difficulty is especially present in intercultural encounters, where different thinking and behaviour patterns are confronted - an everyday situation in global security policy and diplomacy. Under these circumstances, it becomes even more important not to act until a situation has been properly assessed.
|
ACTION POINT >> Take a decision you are facing today and try to consciously separate the four steps of 1/ seeing, 2/ evaluating, 3/ judging, and 4/ acting.
