The use of culture and art to promote dialogue and understanding is a field
that, though the subject of much scholarly attention, has had little impact
on the behavior and activities of national governments and other
stakeholders in international relations. Moreover, whilst there is a
widespread agreement of the value of culture and art in raising awareness of
cultural differences, there is less understanding of the potential for
culture and art to offer a neutral platform for mutual cultural exchange, to
transform cultural differences and unite people through emotions. "The
Language of Art and Music" will work to bridge the gap between theory and
practice by bringing together artists with academic experts from the field
and key figures in international relations to discuss the importance of
these artistic disciplines.



In addition to the exploring the theory of cultural and artistic exchange,
âThe Language of Art and Musicâ will provide an opportunity for in-depth
analysis of relevant case studies from across the world. By including both
empirical and theoretical analyses, and by hosting an interdisciplinary
panel of speakers from across the world, the program will provide a thorough
and innovative examination of the language of art and music.



*Conference Participants*

The conference audience will consist of cultural figures from international
cinema, music, performing art, visual arts, national and international
cultural institutions, young professionals, students and scholars, civil
society practitioners, private sector representatives, journalists, and
other interested stakeholders from across the world.



The online application form can be found under:

*Speakers*

The speakers attending the Conference will include internationally
award-winning artists, prominent cultural figures and leading experts from

from international politics, academia, the diplomatic community, civil
society, and the private sector from across the world as well as number of
individuals from the ICD Advisory Board (for further information about the
Advisory Board please click

*Certificate of Attendance*

*Art as Cultural Diplomacy: A Forum for Young Leaders*

*âThe Role of the Arts in Shaping Europeâs Futureâ*

*(Weeklong Seminar, Berlin, 14th-20th February 2011) *

http://www.culturaldiplomacy.org/acd/index.php?en_ylf**



*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. 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. The forthcoming CDA Weeklong Seminar will be held in
Berlin from 14th â 20th February 2011, and will focus on the following
theme:

* *

*â**The Role of the Arts in Shaping Europeâs Futureâ***



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 excellent
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.



*Participants*

The seminar is open to 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.
