Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in Southeast Europe

The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is pleased to invite your participation in the event:

Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in Southeast Europe
Applied Cultural Diplomacy in Southeast Europe
(Zagreb; July 1st, 2014)

Agenda
Croatia and the Southeast Europe Region are privileged to have one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse populations in the world, and therefore have a unique opportunity to create and implement cultural diplomacy based strategies that strengthen cross-cultural relationships. Serving as a melting pot of cultures, the Southeast Europe Region can use its cultural diversity as a resource to improve international relations and thus create real lasting benefits to its political, economic and cultural sectors. The Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in the Balkan Region will gather a broad range of stakeholders to discuss the historical examples, the best practices and the future applications of cultural diplomacy in multi-lateral and bi-lateral relations in the Balkan region.
