"A Three Piece Puzzle: The Relationship between Culture, International Relations and Globalization"
(Berlin, June 10th - 16th, 2011)

Introduction
ICD Academy Sessions are weeklong programs that explore the role of cultural diplomacy in contemporary international relations. Each program features lectures, seminars and workshops lead by experts from the fields of international politics, diplomacy, academia, civil society, and the private sector. During their time in Berlin participants will also have the opportunity to take part in cultural and social activities and to visit institutions such as the German Foreign Office, the German Parliament, the Berlin City Hall, cultural institutions and Berlin-based embassies.
The ICD Academy was established to allow individuals of all academic and professional backgrounds the opportunity to learn more about the subject of cultural diplomacy. In recognition of the growing interdependence of individual nation states, and the increasing role of non-governmental organizations in international affairs, the importance of cross-cultural exchange based on dialogue, understanding, and trust is under ever more focus. Each Academy Session will therefore seek to explore the history and development of cultural diplomacy, with a particular focus on the state-sponsored cultural diplomacy of the cold war, and then to evaluate the development of the concept and its application by different actors across the world today.
The Academy Session timetables are designed to allow participants the opportunity to discuss salient issues with experts from the field, whilst providing a framework for group discussions amongst each other. Further information about the academy methodology, speakers, and locations, as well as the application form, can be accessed using the links on the left hand side.

All academy participants will be awarded an official certificate of attendance upon completion of the program, which will provide details of the speakers who took part and the topics discussed. Each certificate will be signed by members of the ICD's Advisory Board.

Program Agenda
The June Session of the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy will take place in Berlin from June 10th - 16th 2011 and will focus on the following theme:
"A Three Piece Puzzle: The Relationship between Culture, International Relations and Globalization"
In addition to looking in greater detail at the history and development of cultural diplomacy, the next academy session will explore the influence that culture has on domestic policies and international relations. Academics, artists, politicians, and informed commentators will reflect on the extent to which culture influences a country's Daily life, foreign policy, and the partners it will work with.
Integral to this part of the program is a focus on the concepts of "smart power" and "cultural diplomacy"; the meaning of these terms and their application in contemporary domestic and international relations.
Sustainable Network >
Academy Session participants become part of a growing international network of people from across the world with different fields of interest and levels of experience who share a commitment to intercultural exchange.
