Cultural Diplomacy in the Commonwealth 2018 »

"Cultural Diplomacy as a Means to Build Bridges
between the Commonwealth & the World"

London; April 16th - 20th, 2018

Conference Overview

The Commonwealth is an intergovernmental organization of 53 member states, which covers almost a quarter of the world's entire land area and serves as an influential regional player in global political, economic and cultural affairs. The Commonwealth has a rich and diverse experience of best practices in cultural diplomacy and for this reason serves as a good organization in which to hold an International Symposium. In addition, the Commonwealth constitutes a global community where all members have an equal voice regardless of their size and population. Such a community, with its shared values and history, is the ideal forum for fostering mutual understanding and cooperation through cultural exchange and open dialogue. 

The Academy for Cultural Diplomacy has therefore created the conference in order to build on this past experience and to formulate new initiatives, which will strengthen international relations and encourage cooperation between diverse communities based upon values of peace, democracy, human rights and the rule of law within the Commonwealth of Nations. 
The event will address issues related to cultural diplomacy in the region, and look for methods by which cultural bridges and dialogue can be improved between the Commonwealth and the rest of the world.

Conference Locations

The Symposium is based in a number of important political, historic, and cultural locations across London such as House of Lords.

Conference Participants »

Participation in the conference is open to governmental & diplomatic officials, academics, artists, journalists, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, young professionals and students as well as other interested individuals from across the world.
Certificate of Attendance - All conference participants will be awarded an official certificate of attendance upon completion of the program, which will provide details of the speakers who took part and the topics discussed.

Fwd: Paid market research opportunity for Romanian woman

<ionelaflood@gmail.com>


Dear Ms Flood,

We are currently trying to reach Romanian women, aged 60+, who enjoy cooking, in order to invite them to participate in some paid market research. Participants would take part in a week-long, online platform, uploading videos and answering questions about their cooking and shopping practices, and to thank them for their participation would receive £100.

In light of your deep involvement with Romanian cultural life in London, I thought you might be able to pass my details on to women who might be interested. If you would be happy to do so please let me know - I would be grateful for any help you could offer.

Many thanks,

Kirsty O'Neill    International Project Coordinator

The role of civil society in the prevention of radicalisation of young people

 
 
The European Economic and Social Committee has the pleasure to invite you to its conference on "The role of civil society in the prevention of radicalisation of young people".

The event will serve to clarify what can be done to render more effective existing civil society initiatives aiming to prevent radicalisation. It will therefore focus on questions such as "what can be done at EU level to improve the working conditions of practitioners in the field?", "how can existing structures be strengthened?", and "which good practices could be replicated elsewhere?". The first panel will cover different elements of anti-radicalisation policy, always focusing on what is needed to increase success rates. The second panel will focus on education. The key questions all panellists will be asked to answer is "what goes well?" and "what can be done better and how?".

Speakers will include representatives from the European Commission, the city of Vilvoorde, academia, the education sector and civil society organisations.

Le rôle de la société civile dans la prévention de la radicalisation des jeunes

 
 
Le Comité économique et social européen a le plaisir de vous inviter à la conférence qu'il organise sur «Le rôle de la société civile dans la prévention de la radicalisation des jeunes».
 
Cette manifestation est destinée à mettre en lumière ce qui peut être fait pour rendre plus efficaces les initiatives de la société civile visant à prévenir la radicalisation. Elle sera donc axée sur des questions telles que: «Que peut-on faire au niveau de l'UE pour améliorer les conditions de travail des praticiens sur le terrain?», «Comment les structures existantes peuvent-elles être consolidées?» et «Quelles bonnes pratiques pourraient-elles être reproduites ailleurs?». La première table ronde abordera divers aspects de la politique de lutte contre la radicalisation et sera axée sur les mesures nécessaires pour la rendre plus efficace. La deuxième portera principalement sur l'éducation. Les principales questions auxquelles tous les intervenants seront invités à répondre sont: «Qu'est-ce qui fonctionne bien?» et «Qu'est-ce qui pourrait être amélioré et comment?».

Parmi les intervenants figureront des représentants de la Commission européenne, de la ville de Vilvorde (BE), du monde universitaire et du secteur de l'enseignement, ainsi que des organisations de la société civile.

Wimbledon Art Studios' artists collaborate to raise money for the Khadija Saye Memorial Fund


Combining their artistic talents, emerging artists Harriet Hoult, Ariadna Dane and Alice Neave (pictured above), are creating a collaborative piece (or two) which will be auctioned to raise money for the Khadija Saye Memorial Fund

Khadija Saye, an artist who's career was just taking off, was tragically killed in the Grenfell Tower fire last month. Friends have set up the fund in her memory to support creativity in young people. The money raised for this fund will go towards study, informal training, internships or mentoring those whose background and circumstances might not necessarily grant them access to such support.
 
Keep up to date with their story on Tuesday 4th July, by following @wimbledon_art_studios on Instagram, as they host an inspirational Insta-takeover. Materials for this event are being kindly supplied by CASS Art
