What is the promise of citizen diplomacy?

Georgetown Lecture Series

World Learning, Georgetown University, and the Aspen Institute’s Global Interdependence Initiative are excited to present a symposium on Tuesday April 22, 2008, examining the contribution of citizen diplomacy to shaping the role of the United States in the world.

This second event in our lecture series with Georgetown and the Aspen Institute will be featuring Hon. Earl Pomeroy and Hon. Mac Thornberry, and focuses on how we as citizens can have an impact on international diplomacy through international exchange opportunities, and the larger strategic questions about US foreign policy in regards to “high-road” citizen diplomacy.

The event will feature a keynote and two panel presentations. We hope that you will be able to attend!

Details of the event:

Date: April 22, 2008
Time: 8:45 am – 12:45 pm
Location: Copley Hall, Georgetown University
Cost: Free

    Citizen diplomacy is one of the easiest and most powerful ways that we, as Americans, can begin to correct the negative image Bush and his administration have given the United States. If you are in the area, this looks like a great event to attend and being making a difference. Thanks for posting it.
