We would also like to highlight the forthcoming ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy (April Seminar), taking place in Berlin from April 13 to April 17. The Academy is open to individuals interested in learning more about the field of Cultural Diplomacy as a whole. The forthcoming Weeklong Seminar will include seminars and workshops with high-profile figures from the Berlin diplomatic, political and civil society communities.

The USA Meets Germany: A Forum for Young Leaders is designed with the intention of bringing together young, influential people from both sides of the Atlantic in order for them to gain an insight into cultural diplomacy, exchange ideas and experiences, and learn from influential figures already working in the field. Participants in the forum will develop contacts on both a social and professional level, and participate in challenging discussions. The forum will therefore produce a dynamic, informed group of Young Leaders who are aware of the potential for cultural diplomacy and have the necessary resources to organize their own initiatives.
