Europe meets Russia Forum, Berlin

Описание

Europe meets Russia: A Forum for Young Leaders (EMR) is a newly launched network of young, dynamic and influential people from Russia and Europe who have a current interest in the Russian-European relationship. Members join the Forum by taking part in a Weeklong Seminar, during which they will learn about the field of cultural diplomacy, explore the relationship between the European Union and Russia, and take part in challenging group discussions on important issues. Participants will gain insight into the evolution of Russian-European relations, discuss the role of cultural diplomacy in modern Russia and post-modern Europe, examine issues of European and Russian national identity, and how cross-cultural perceptions affect the Russian-European relationship. Once they have become a member of the Forum, the ICD will support the young leaders in conducting research into the European-Russian relationship, which can either be published on our online media service (Cultural Diplomacy News, www.cd-n.org), online in the ICD research section, or in our forthcoming book “Case Studies in Cultural Diplomacy”. The Forum will also organise a number of shorter, academic conferences throughout the year that the members are invited to attend and to help organise. Through the ICD Online Forum, members are able to keep in touch with one another and members of the other ICD Forums and share important information about job opportunities and related events. Finally, the ICD will support and offer guidance to members who are interested in organising their own cultural exchange initiatives.
