I would like to follow up on my previous email inviting your University’s students and graduates to the United Nations Conference Centre to the capital city of the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, Bangkok, for the 2019 International Diplomacy Forum, to be held July 10-12.
Designed to recognise, develop and enhance the next generation of global leaders, the inaugural Forum, held in to the capital city of the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, will comprise of interactive workshops, solution-based discussions, negotiation exercises, career advice and networking. Delivered by respected Ambassadors, MPs, Government Officials, Media and World Leading Diplomacy Experts, delegates will gain fundamental skills, insights and connections, essential for their roles as social justice advocates, within their future careers concerning sustainable and inclusive international relations and partnerships. The respected Forum provides dedicated individuals with an experience that differentiates them from the population of emerging graduates, whilst simultaneously providing a global opportunity to engage with the International Diplomatic Community.
To enable your faculty to easily distribute this opportunity to your student/graduate population, I have linked a short blurb here (easily copied and pasted), used by our other partnered universities via email, announcements and various student/graduate platforms. For more information about the International Diplomacy Forum 2019, registration fees and themes to be discussed, please find our e-Brochure linked here, or visit our website www.internationaldiplomacyforum.org.
Former President of the UN Security Council, Professor Kishore Mahbubani will deliver the Keynote Address at the inaugural International Diplomacy Forum 2019.
Professor Mahbubani is the Senior Advisor, a Global Relations expert, as well as a Professor in the Practice of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. In April 2018, The Ash Centre for Democratic Governance and Innovation, a leading research centre housed at Harvard Kennedy School, announced the appointment of Professor Mahbubani as a Senior Visiting Scholar. Professor Mahbubani also serves in many Boards and Councils of institutions around the world, including the Yale President’s Council and World Economic Forum. Most recently, he was selected by Prospect magazine as one of the top 50 world thinkers.
Applicants can either be nominated by faculty members to represent your University, or apply independently by submitting their CV to our Global Partnership Associate, Ms. Claire Emery at claire.emery@humanitarianaffairs.org.
Due to limited seating at the United Nations Conference Centre, and to ensure your students/graduates have ample time to organise flights, we would like to request that students/graduates from your select university apply before May 31. While applications are still open after May 31, those who apply before this date will receive the highest consideration for acceptance. Please note this email serves as the final call for all applications.
