Wonderful presentation, bery interesting and well,presented!
Professor Wieda’s usual tour de force. Excellent level of information and visuals. I know something of the areas on which Prof. Wieda presents, and I always learn new things and hear interesting questions raised.
Dr. Nina Wieda’s presentations are always excellent: well-prepared, enthusiastically presented, and very diverse in terms of history, religion, and culture, including music and dance. Georgia is an ancient, very interesting and beautiful country, and the words, maps, photography, and music and dance videos really brought the country to life.
This was a broad overview of culture and history. Very informative.
This was an interesting and comprehensive presentation, and easy to listen to and watch. It was well organized both in terms of content and photos. I now have a deeper understanding and appreciation of a country that's always fascinated me. Now I REALLY want to visit; after the presentation ended, I checked: several major US airlines fly there...
