Background
In Kabul, there is a large and diverse community of Afghan-German and German-speaking Afghans whose networking has not been coordinated in recent years. Upon request from the network, the office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation has taken over the coordination and revival of the Afghan-German Roundtable in 2019.
The Afghan-German Roundtable is a monthly, casual and informal meeting to maintain the Afghan-German community in Kabul and its connection to the German Embassy. Its purpose is to get to know each other and to exchange ideas on general topics of Afghan-German relations. Political topics are not in the foreground, but are not taboo either.
Format
When? Once a month on Thursdays
Where? KAS House in Kabul (parallel on Zoom)
The language at the Roundtable is German.
The meetings are informal and confidential, according to Chatham House rules.
