24 October 2015. The Public Diplomacy Symposium is an annual meeting that provides an environment in which critical and collaborative discussion and networking can occur between students and professionals in order to advance the field. This year, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the ways in which public diplomacy is addressing the rising influence of new, 21st century actors.
The program this year takes place on Thursday, November 5, 2015, 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
The agenda features three panels:
- How have governments, NGOs, and international institutions adapted their public diplomacy efforts to effectively respond to growing threats to security?
- How are transnational NGO networks advancing human security goals of social justice and well-being through public diplomacy?
- How can civil society engage in public diplomacy to address issues of human and national security?
A reception, with a closing keynote by Anita Sharma, Syracuse University Alumna and Senior Director of Millennium Development Goals Initiatives at the United Nations Foundation, will conclude the evening. For more information and registration, see: http://publicdiplomacy.syr.edu/.
