On behalf of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (www.culturaldiplomacy.org), I am writing to bring to your attention the following major programs hosted by us in partnership with other leading organizations. Each Program will bring together young professional and students interested in the relationship in question for a program of lectures, workshops, group discussions and cultural excursions featuring leading figures from the fields of politics, the arts, academia, media, and business.

We are currently accepting applications for these events, and would be grateful if you could share this announcement by forwarding the information below to anyone you think may be interested in attending. I would also be delighted to welcome you as a participant in Berlin.
