Zivilcourage ist für die heutige Gesellschaft enorm wichtig und ich hoffe, dass die Aktion Zivilcourage genau das auch vielen Leuten verdeutlicht.

“Exploring the Promotion and Protection of Cultural Diversity”
The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is pleased to announce it is currently accepting applications to the forthcoming December Session of the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy, taking place in Berlin this December.
Participants will take part in a 5-day program of lectures, seminars, and workshops lead by experts from politics, diplomacy, civil society, and academia. A range of cultural and social activities will complement the academic components and allow the group to expand their personal networks and experience Berlin’s rich cultural and historical landscape.
What will the program look at?
The December Session of the ICD Academy will look at the subject of multiculturalism: what it means, how it is interpreted in different fields, and how it can be promoted. In addition, the participants will learn about the history and development of cultural diplomacy and its practical application across the world today.
Who will speak during the program?
Speakers will be selected from politics, diplomacy, academia, and the cultural sector, to ensure that a plurality of perspectives is presented. Confirmed speakers during the forthcoming Weeklong Seminar include Ulrika Holmgaard (Cultural Attaché at the Swedish Embassy in Berlin), Mikko Missi (Cultural Attaché at the Finnish Embassy in Berlin), Mark Donfried (Founder & Director of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy), and Yvonne Rock (Cultural Producer).
Who can apply?
Applications are accepted from students, young professionals, civil society representatives and cultural practitioners, and diplomatic and political representatives with an interest in intercultural relations.
What happens after the Weeklong Session?
At the end of each session each participant will receive a certificate of participation detailing the activities of the week and the speakers involved. Participants then become part of the ICD’s global network and will be given support in conducting their own research and organising their own initiatives.
