The Arts Diplomacy Festival 2012

22nd – 25th March 2012 – Berlin, GERMANY

www.icd-languageofartandmusic.org

The Arts Diplomacy Festival 2012 will explore how the arts can be used to change theory into practice and express, create and improve social awareness and diplomatic relations. The arts include a variety of mediums through which emotions and culture can be expressed: music, art, literature and sports, to name only a few. The program will examine how the arts can be used within the field of cultural diplomacy to initiate intercultural dialogue and cooperation through movement, thought and active expression.

The Arts Diplomacy Festival 2012 is the brainchild of Cultural Diplomacy in Practice (CDP), a department within the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy. CDP is predicated on the ICD’s philosophy that diplomacy must transcend mere discussion and include practical implementation of theory for the reason that sometimes actions speak louder than words: Cultural diplomacy must show rather than tell.

Popular art forms have a unique ability to bring people from disparate backgrounds together by underscoring shared values. The Arts Diplomacy Festival intends to demonstrate the underutilized power of art and physical expression to further the cause of cultural diplomacy.

The program will consist of lectures, seminars, debates and panel discussions featuring leading figures from international politics, diplomacy, academia, civil society, and the private sector. The Festival will also showcase the performances of artists, musicians and performers from all over the world and include a full day of practical workshops devoted to planning for future initiatives.

The Arts Diplomacy Festival 2012: Cultural Diplomacy in Practice
Cultural diplomacy relies upon thorough dialogue between disparate nations and cultures as a tool to promote a global peace and stability; however, there remains a tendency within the field to let the development of theory overshadow the practical elements necessary for implementation. The Arts Diplomacy Festival aims to explore how the arts; particularly music, fine arts and literature, sports, gastronomy, academia, religion and politics can be utilized by and delivered to governments, businesses and universities in an active practical, informative and effective way of communication and expression.]]> ICD Press wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:08:23 +0100 http://wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord/read.php?3306,15085666,15085666#msg-15085666 http://wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord/read.php?3306,15085666,15085666#msg-15085666 www.dating-2000.nl]]]> Gratis Dating ! wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:23:46 +0100 http://wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord/read.php?3306,15041368,15041368#msg-15041368 http://wetenschap.startpagina.nl/prikbord/read.php?3306,15041368,15041368#msg-15041368

The International Conference on Cultural Diplomacy & the UN
“Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power in an Interdependent World: The Opportunities of Global Governance”
(New York, February 21st – 24th, 2012)
www.un-culturaldiplomacy-conference.org


The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is currently accepting applications for our forth coming event, which will take place in New York City from February 21st – 24th, 2012. The event will bring together government and diplomatic officials, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, journalists, young professionals, students and scholars, and other interested stakeholders from across the world for a program of lectures, workshops, panel and group discussions and social and cultural activities featuring leading figures from the fields of politics, the arts, academia, media, and business.

The “Conference on The United Nations and Cultural Diplomacy” is one of a three–part series of International Conferences held by the ICD on the issue of ‘International Institutions and Global Governance: The Role of Cultural Diplomacy’. The aim of the conference this year is to reflect on the role of institutions such as the United Nations within the international system, on global governance as a whole in terms of key international issues and on how Cultural Diplomacy takes place. The program will consist of lectures, seminars, debates and panel discussions that will feature leading figures from international politics & diplomacy, academia, civil society, and the private sector.

In an age of international instability and discontent, the United Nations marked a transition towards a more ‘soft’ power-based approach to international relations. With its specific aim to foster peace and cooperation agreements, the United Nations was the first institution to focus on relations between states and international understanding. Cultural Diplomacy is becoming increasingly important within international relations and The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy reflects the desire to expand on this work.

This conference will focus on and analyze the probability of Cultural Diplomacy representing a useful tool for fostering international cooperation within an institutional framework and within the wider global government.

Er zijn diverse websites waar je gratis je online vragenlijst kan maken (thesis tools, googledocs, survey monkey, etc.). Helaas heb ik er nog geen één gevonden die de optie heeft, waarbij je per stelling voor meerdere antwoorden punten moet verdelen. Is er iemand die een website/tool weet waar je dat wel kan. Er moet eigenlijk dan ook een beveiliging opzitten, zodat het vereiste aantal punten wel weggegeven wordt en niet meer of minder punten.

Een voorbeeld staat hieronder:

Verdeel 8 punten over de 5 antwoorden die volgens jou het beste passen bij de stelling
1. Een verandering kan voor mij pas succesvol worden als:

a. De belangrijkste managers erachter staan Bijvoorbeeld 1 punt
b. De mensen er voor gemotiveerd zijn Bijvoorbeeld 2 punten

Dear Sir/ Madam,

The program will bring together governmental and diplomatic officials, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, journalists, young professionals, students and scholars and other interested stakeholders from across the world for a program of lectures, workshops, group discussions and cultural excursions featuring leading figures from the fields of politics, civil society, academia, and the media.



The London International Human Rights Congress 2011

"Immigration & Integration in an Age of Austerity: Challenges and Opportunities"

(London, November 22nd - 25th, 2011)

www.lihrc.org


The London International Human Rights Congress is an international Conference held annually by the ICD and other leading organizations in a different global capital city. The aim of the conference this year is to reflect on the operation and application of Human Rights with particular focus on Immigration and Integration. The program will consist of lectures, seminars, debates and panel discussions that will feature leading figures from international politics & diplomacy, academia, civil society, and the private sector.

Since the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the dignity and respect afforded to the protection of Human Rights across the Globe has faced an unprecedented amount of challenges. In our Globalised and Multicultural world rights relating to Immigration and Integration are those which are both most important in terms of International Relations, and those most at risk. It is during times like these that the International Human Rights framework is tested in a way like never before. Raising new questions such as how far should National Financial or Economic failings be allowed to influence the Universality of access to fundamental rights? The London International Human Rights Congress will discuss the challenges and opportunities which arise in the quest to protect Human Rights in the 21st Century.

Conference Participants »

The conference is open to applications from diplomatic and political representatives, civil society practitioners, young professionals, students and scholars, private sector figures, journalists, and other interested stakeholders in international relations from across the world.

During their time in Berlin participants will also have the opportunity to take part in cultural and social activities and to visit institutions such as the German Foreign Office, the German Parliament, the Berlin City Hall, cultural institutions and Berlin-based embassies.

Wij vinden het belangrijk dat onze tests steunen op degelijke wetenschappelijke onderbouwing.
Zo hebben wij bijvoorbeeld de Bridge Personality ontwikkeld. Een persoonlijkheidstest die is gebaseerd op de Big Five kenmerken en de Jung typen.

Een ander al veel gebruikt instrument dat we ontwikkeld hebben is de Bridge Ability Suite, een capaciteitentest op verschillende niveaus. Deze test meet cognitieve vaardigheden op de gebieden verbaal, numeriek en abstract. De vragen zijn, in tegenstelling tot veel klassieke capaciteitentesten, aangepast naar deze tijd. Zo zijn bijvoorbeeld de typische cijferreeksen vervangen door vragen die echt raken aan de praktijk (hoe bereken ik hypotheekrentes, hoe bepaal ik omzet, enz.)

"A Three Piece Puzzle" is an international Conference taking place in London from August 25th - 29th, 2011 to explore the relationship between culture, international relations, and globalization through a program of workshops, lectures & discussions, debates, film screenings, art exhibitions, performances and cultural activities. 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).
