[Pictures of the Cultural Seminar]

On 1 and 2 May 2003 a conference with broad superregional participation was held at the University of Tbilissi on the topic "Mountains, Languages and Tourism in the Caucasus." This was followed from 28 July to 5 August 2003 by a climb of the Kasbegi (5047 m). In 2005 there will be a culture seminar and a conference.

The goal of the INST culture seminars is to make possible the cultural mediation of a country or to preserve information by such cultural research, while at the same time not neglecting the sensual aspects (sight, taste, hearing). For the culture seminars excellent scholars of the country are available. Dr. Koba Arabuli (Director of the Tourist-Institute of the University) is responsible for the organization.

The aim of the conference "Myths and Mountains" is to carry out a worldwide comparison of mountain myths. The results will be published on the INST-mountain website. They will also be available on the CD accompanying the book "The Unifying Aspects of Cultures," which is to be presented in October 2004 at the Book Fair in Frankfurt am Main.
