I am writing to announce the dates of two forthcoming programs being organised by the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin this summer.
“Bridging African through Economics” will bring together participants from across the world to consider the role of economic interdependence in strengthening intercultural relations within the African continent and between Africa and other regions.
The forthcoming Weeklong Seminar for “Europe Meets Latin America: A Forum for Young Leaders” will bring together individuals interested in exploring and supporting the European-Latin American relationship, and considering the role that cultural diplomacy can play in this process.
I would be grateful if you could forward the text underneath this email to any students who you feel may be interested in attending.
