For the first time, the ASC also conducted a workshop for professional discus- sions. By breaking the class into professional groups of military, law enforcement and diplomats, the Fel- lows were given a chance to exchange ideas and best practices of their national agencies. The three groups was later mixed again in a subregional format to look at interagency aspects of se- curity cooperation and ways of improving it.

In the capstone exercise, each seminar group was asked to select two signifi- cant security trends in the region and offer recommen- dations on how to respond to them from an interagency and multilateral perspective.
