Diplomacy
has undergone radical change and according to many current thinkers
conventional diplomacy is not able to provide answers to the challenges
posed by present-day realities. In response to this EUNIC London and
the European Commission Representation in the UK are hosting and
cordially inviting you to
The Virtues of European Public Diplomacy on 21st century Cultural Diplomacy by practitioners and theorists The seminar will look at the role to soft power and the challenges and opportunities of using art and culture – indeed cultural relations - as vehicles of national foreign policy. This timely event will bring together cultural attachés and directors of the national cultural centres based in the UK, leaders of major British art organizations and leaders of EUNIC. The participants will have the opportunity to network, to discuss the topic and to raise issues they feel are important for further consideration.
