What will the Weeklong Seminar involve?
The program for the Weeklong Seminar will consist of lectures, seminars, 
workshops, and cultural activities in and around Berlin. The participants 
will meet with leading figures from the political, diplomatic, academic and 
civil society spheres to discuss the state of European relations and 
consider how they can be supported through organised cultural exchange.

What is the aim of the Weeklong Seminar?
The Seminar aims to inform the participants about the field of Cultural 
Diplomacy and its importance today, raise awareness of key issues in the 
European relations, create a network between the Seminar participants, and 
give them creative ideas and support for future initiatives they can 
organise.

What happens after the Seminar?
After completing the Weeklong Seminar, the participants become members of 
the Cultural Diplomacy in Europe Forum. They are then supported by the ICD 
in conducting research, in organising and developing leadership initiatives, 
and are invited to join the ICD Online Forum where they can network with the 
other Young Leaders from around the world. The Forum activity is aimed at 
creating sustainable initiatives that bring the European countries closer 
together.
