The Ankara Conference on Peace building & Conflict Resolution
Using Cultural Diplomacy as a Tool to Build Sustainable Peace
(Ankara, April 17th - 19th, 2012)
www.ankara-conference.org
******
On behalf of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy, I am writing to bring to your attention the following major program hosted by us, under the Patronage of ICD YLF President the Hon. Yasar Yakis, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey and in partnership with other leading organizations.
The program will bring together governmental and diplomatic officials, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, journalists, young professionals, students and scholars and other interested stakeholders from across the world for a program of lectures, seminars, debates and Panel discussions, featuring leading figures and experts from the fields of international politics, academia, diplomacy, the private sector and civil society.
The Ankara Conference on Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution stands out as the ICD's effort to impact the international system at its most sensitive and efficient level: conflict resolution and peacebuilding, taking the Mediterranean as the focus of our study. Reflecting on the role of cultural diplomacy as a tool for conflict resolution, and in empowering the Mediterranean countries at a global scale, will be the main goal of this conference.
The conference will address the roots of conflicts in the region and will assess the resolution efforts from regional and global actors, putting cultural diplomacy forward as a means towards enhanced regional cooperation. Moreover, change is taking place – evidenced by the Arab Spring– creating a higher risk for conflict, or a new chance for peace. The aim of this conference is to reassess the intimate cultural ties that link the Mediterranean countries together, and consequently the potential for conflict resolution.
Conference Speakers >
Speakers during the conference will include leading figures and experts from civil society, international politics, academia, diplomacy, and the private sector from across the world. These speakers will include a number of individuals from the ICD Advisory Board.
