CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Cultural Diplomacy in Africa:
A Forum for Young Leaders
Africa and the Global Economy:
Creating Opportunities and Development Strategies
Africa's progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
The program for the Seminar is split into two parts, beginning with group workshops, seminars, and lectures from 17th - 20th January. These components will be followed by an international conference on development
in Africa from the 21st - 23rd January.
In addition to looking in greater detail at the history and development of cultural diplomacy, the next CDA Weeklong Seminar will focus on the issues of development and economic growth on the African continent. In particular, it will focus on the following
areas:
The role of public-private-partnerships in supporting development within Africa, with a focus on the "Energy-Poverty-Action" initiative.
The role played by "economic bridges" in ensuring national and regional stability and the role young leaders can play in supporting these bridges.
New strategies for progress in healthcare, education, and water management.
The involvement of international partners in African development projects and the African economy.
The Rise of Africa: An International Conference on New Strategies and Approaches to Governance and Sustainable Development in Africa (21st - 23rd January) will take place as an integral part of the Weeklong Seminar, and will bring together expert speakers from
the fields of politics, academia, and civil society for a 3 day program of lectures and panel discussions.
Once individuals have taken part in the Weeklong Seminar they will join the CDA Forum, a network of likeminded individuals from Africa and across the world who conduct activities to improve intercultural relations within Africa and between Africa and other
regions.
