Through real-case country examples, supported with a theoretical debate, the course offered a new, fresh insight in the contemporary issues of Public Diplomacy. For me, as a diplomat, the discussion among the participants has created an exceptional opportunity for sharing original and modern ideas for developing public diplomacy strategies, nation branding and communication with the public.

You will work through study materials provided in the online classroom together with other participants, following a weekly cycle. Each week, you read lecture texts, adding questions and comments and responding to those added by other participants and the lecturer(s). Other weekly activities may include self-assessment quizzes, short assignments, discussion forum topics and group tasks. At the end of the weekly cycle, you will meet with other participants and lecturers in an online chat room to discuss the topic for the week.
