Cultural Diplomacy in the Commonwealth 2018 »

"Cultural Diplomacy as a Means to Build Bridges
between the Commonwealth & the World"

London; April 16th - 20th, 2018

Conference Overview

The Commonwealth is an intergovernmental organization of 53 member states, which covers almost a quarter of the world's entire land area and serves as an influential regional player in global political, economic and cultural affairs. The Commonwealth has a rich and diverse experience of best practices in cultural diplomacy and for this reason serves as a good organization in which to hold an International Symposium. In addition, the Commonwealth constitutes a global community where all members have an equal voice regardless of their size and population. Such a community, with its shared values and history, is the ideal forum for fostering mutual understanding and cooperation through cultural exchange and open dialogue. 

The Academy for Cultural Diplomacy has therefore created the conference in order to build on this past experience and to formulate new initiatives, which will strengthen international relations and encourage cooperation between diverse communities based upon values of peace, democracy, human rights and the rule of law within the Commonwealth of Nations. 
The event will address issues related to cultural diplomacy in the region, and look for methods by which cultural bridges and dialogue can be improved between the Commonwealth and the rest of the world.

Conference Locations

The Symposium is based in a number of important political, historic, and cultural locations across London such as House of Lords.

Conference Participants »

Participation in the conference is open to governmental & diplomatic officials, academics, artists, journalists, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, young professionals and students as well as other interested individuals from across the world.

Premiile Ligii Scriitorilor. Premiul Naţional pentru scriitoarea LIGYA DIACONESCU

Liga Scriitorilor premiază an de an cele mai bune produse editoriale care au văzut lumina tiparului în anul editorial precedent. Pentru această ediţie, au fost luate în considerare cărţile sosite pe adresa conducerii naţionale a LSR pentru jurizare până în 28 februarie 2018, reprezentând nu mai puţin de 210 titluri, făcându-se câte trei selecţii pentru fiecare gen literar şi în final au fost stabilite cărţile câştigătoare.
