On behalf of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD), I am writing to announce the details of the forthcoming programs being organized by the ICD Academy.
The July Session of the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy will run from 25th July to 1st August. In addition to looking at the history and development of the field of cultural diplomacy, and its contemporary application across the world, the forthcoming Academy Session will look at the tools available to countries and cities wanting to shape their image abroad and will explore the roles of cultural diplomacy and nation branding in generating soft power for nation states.
The program will consist of lectures, panel discussions, seminars, as well as cultural and social activities that will explore the concepts of cultural diplomacy and nation branding in more detail, and consider the role of soft power in contemporary international relations. Participants of the July Academy Sessions will participate in the next ICD major event “Nation Branding in a Globalized World: An International Conference on the Economic, Political, and Cultural Dimensions of Nation Branding" (Berlin, 29th July - 01st August 2010).
We are currently accepting applications to attend this program, and I would therefore be grateful if you could share the announcement within your network and forward the information below on to anyone who you feel may be interested. We would also be delighted to having you involved and to welcome you to Berlin in July. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in raising awareness of our upcoming event.
