The Young Cultural Diplomacy Forum 2024 in Dubai has opened its doors to applicants. This forum, hosted by the Center for Strategy and Cultural Diplomacy (CSCD), will delve into the intersection of art, literature, and diplomacy, showcasing how these elements intertwine to shape international relations. Specifically, the forum will shed light on the significant role that artistic expressions focusing on environmental issues play in fostering connections between nations. Regardless of nationality, individuals are encouraged to apply for this three-day forum, set to take place from May 24-26, 2024.
This year’s YCDF in Dubai aims to delve into various themes, including public diplomacy and the cultural renaissance in the Middle East. Of particular importance is the celebration and preservation of indigenous cultures, highlighting their unique contributions to the global cultural landscape. The forum serves as an international platform where young leaders can come together, participate in discussions, attend workshops and training sessions, and foster connections with peers from around the world. Through these interactions, participants gain a deeper understanding of different cultures, paving the way for enhanced cooperation and collaboration.
Earlier this year, in March 2024, the CSCD organized the Young Public Diplomacy Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. Held at the Azerbaijan University of Languages (ALU), the summit brought together students, emerging leaders, diplomats, and university officials for engaging discussions and networking opportunities. The success of this summit reflects the CSCD’s commitment to promoting cultural diplomacy and providing platforms for meaningful dialogue among young minds. Interested individuals can find comprehensive details about past events and activities on the CSCD’s official website, showcasing the organization’s ongoing efforts to foster cultural understanding and cooperation globally.
