How to maximise the impact of cultural exchange: Strategies for navigating political dynamics

Date – Thursday, 26 September
Time – 11:00 – 12:00
Location – Auditorium 6/7, CCL

Cultural exchange programmes offer significant benefits to public diplomacy, national security, and economic prosperity. While our programmes have many champions, political support for these has not been as strong or consistent as the exchange community would wish and can change from one political party to the next.

Stakeholders often ask how they can contribute to advocacy, communication with government (including foreign ministries, embassies and consulates), and alumni networks. In this session, we will delve into strategies for developing strong alumni networks, effective agent associations, and open communication lines with embassies worldwide.
