“Nation Branding in a Globalized World:

An International Conference on the Economic, Political, and Cultural Dimensions of Nation Branding"

 (Berlin, 29th July - 01st August 2010)

Dear Friends & Colleagues, 

On behalf of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy, I am writing to announce the details of a forthcoming Weeklong Seminar taking place as part of the ICD’s program “Cultural Diplomacy in Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders”.

The next weeklong seminar is an 8 day program of lectures, panel discussions, seminars, as well as cultural and social activities. In addition to looking at the history and development of the field of cultural diplomacy in Europe, and its contemporary application, the forthcoming weeklong seminar will analyse the processes of European expansion and integration, explore the concept of nation branding, and assess the impact of nation branding on Europe’s regional identity.

Participants of the CDE program will also participate in the ICD’s forthcoming international conference “Nation Branding in a Globalized World: An International Conference on the Economic, Political, and Cultural Dimensions of Nation Branding" (Berlin 29th July-1st August 2010), which will explore the concept of nation branding, its history and consider its impact on the economic, political and cultural relations between countries.

Further details can be found on our website www.culturaldiplomacy.org/cde ; www.icd-nationbranding.org

We are currently accepting applications to attend this program, and I would therefore be grateful if you could share the announcement within your network and forward the information below on to anyone who you feel may be interested. We would also be delighted to having you involved and to welcome you to Berlin in July. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in raising awareness of our upcoming event.

I would also highlight that you can now stay in touch with the ICD, and keep up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of cultural diplomacy, through the ICD Facebook Group, which is available here.

If you do not wish to receive emails from the ICD in future, please send an email to info@culturaldiplomacy.org indicating this.

Warm Regards,
