The event will bring together artists and practitioners from the fields of culture, literature, and music, that will share their perspectives alongside renowned academics and leading figures from international politics, diplomacy, civil society, and the public sector. The audience will include scholars and academics, students and young professionals, artists, diplomatic and political representatives, representatives of civil society, and other interested stakeholders.
The conference will begin by looking in greater detail at "culture" and "identity" and how these terms are used and understood today. The program will then build on these components by considering the role that culture plays in contemporary international relations and the process of globalization. The conference will then explore and summarize the challenges that lie ahead and the complex relationship between culture, international relations, and globalization over the next two decades (during these five days the concepts of "cultural diplomacy" will also be explored in more detail).

Art as Cultural Diplomacy:
A Forum for Young Leaders
(Berlin, Weeklong Seminar, August 15th - 21st, 2011)
www.icd-artasculturaldiplomacy.org
Art has a unique role in cultural diplomacy; whether visual arts, literature, film, music, dance or theatre they have the power to transcend political borders and cultural barriers. The arts can appeal to universal feelings, thoughts and ideas that everyone can understand, but also can be specific to certain times, places and political climates.
Art as Cultural Diplomacy: A Forum for Young Leaders (ACD) is a network of young influential individuals from across the world, who have an interest in art, music, cultural studies, international relations, political science, peace studies, diplomacy and beyond as well as those interested in exploring the potential for art to serve as a catalyst for cultural diplomacy at both local, national and international levels.
The forthcoming CDA Weeklong Seminar will be held in Berlin from July 27th – August 3rd, 2011. The weeklong seminar is an international and interdisciplinary gathering of young professionals and students from across the world who are looking to develop a career in the cultural sector. The seminar provides an opportunity for young people to expand their knowledge about current and future developments in the field, meet with current and former key cultural players, build sustainable networks with each other and experience Berlin and its rich and diverse cultural life. The program will consist of speeches, panel discussions and workshops by leading figures from the fields of performing arts, visual arts, film, literature, architecture, academia, diplomacy and policymakers. Speakers will offer a range of perspectives on current and conceptual issues in the development of cultural policy and arts administration within an international context, and the current and future potential of the arts as a diplomatic tool.
