Beschreibung:

This year's Symposium will bring together an international, inter-disciplinary group of 200 participants from across the world for a weeklong program of lectures and panel discussions. The focus of the Symposium is the role of soft power in the international environment.

Each component will be followed by an interactive question and answer session with the speaker. This format allows the participants to hear a range of informed perspectives on the issues under discussion and then raise issues they feel are important for further consideration.

During the evenings the ICD will organise activities and events that will let the participants experience Berlin, network and socialise with other participants and the Symposium speakers, and discuss the topics raised during the day.

The speakers during the event will be experts from the fields of politics, academia and the private sector and include:

• Jorge Sampaio, UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations, Former President of Portugal
• Joaquim Chissano, Former President of Mozambique, Former Chairperson of the African Union
