Yurt Talks

Mongolische Jurten im Orchon Tal – Mehrere Jurten auf einer Wiese bei Sonnenuntergang, Berge im Hintergrund. Das Bild zeigt sanfte Orange- und Blautoene am Himmel.

Mongolia is a diverse country. Equally diverse are the impressions shared by the experts—who have various personal and professional ties to Mongolia—in the “Yurt Talks.” Scholars from various disciplines, as well as representatives from the fields of culture, business, and tourism, offer insights into their respective areas of work and life, thereby providing diverse perspectives on the country’s past and present.
In the unique atmosphere of the yurt, the experts first provide a brief overview of their work, their experiences, and their connection to Mongolia. The focus then shifts to the discussion: Visitors are invited to ask questions, share their own interests, and engage directly with the experts.
