INVITATION TO THE SUMMER SESSIONS OF THE ACADEMY OF CULTURAL DIPLOMACY,
BERLIN


The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) is pleased to announce that
it is now taking applications for the ‘Summer Session’ of the Academy of
Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin, Germany. The Academy will be running
weeklong courses between June and August 2008. These will explore the
theory and practice of cultural diplomacy in a thorough, hands-on manner
against the backdrop of the culturally vibrant city of Berlin.


The Academy’s courses have been specifically tailored to suit recent
University graduates and students close to the completion of their
Degree, as well as Young Leaders in the early stages of their
professional careers. They are designed to complement the academic and
professional development of participants and act as both a resume
builder and networking opportunity. Each session will increase
participant’s understanding of cultural diplomacy and its practical
applications, imparting them with greater confidence and improving their
chances of building successful cross-cultural relationships. In an
increasingly interconnected world, the skills obtained from one of the
Academy’s courses give participants a significant head start over their
peers. This rewarding experience is made all the more so by the
experienced Academy faculty and the diversity of course participants.
The Academy experience does not end with the conclusion of the weeklong
course, but continues beyond the program as participants gain access to
ICD’s extensive global network.


In addition, to a strong academic content, Academy courses also offer
participants the opportunity to take full advantage of the Academy’s
Berlin location. Courses incorporate elements of the rich and vibrant
cultural scenes for which the city is famous. Participants are given the
opportunity to see Berlin from a perspective not offered to tourists and
to speak with a variety of distinguished individuals interested in
promoting cultural understanding in this city of diverse cultural
backgrounds.
