The 2013 International Conference on the African Union &
Cultural Diplomacy
“African Perspectives: An African Vision
for Positive Developments in Africa”
(Pretoria, April 8th – 12th, 2013)
(Pretoria, April 8th – 12th, 2013)
This
unprecedented gathering within the African continent will seek to highlight
Africa´s self-attained achievements with regards to its standing in the
international community, as well as it´s increasing emancipation from the often
assumed dependency on the Western world. The focus of the conference will be on
the role and successes of the African Union as an intergovernmental regional
organization seeking to combat political, social, and economic
inequalities. Past achievements will be considered while simultaneously
accenting the future opportunities and challenges the AU faces.
It
will be demonstrated that the application of Cultural Diplomacy is pervasive
within the African Union´s activities, as it has charged itself with the task
of uniting highly differentiated cultures within Africa with the aim of
achieving greater unity and solidarity between the African countries and the
peoples of Africa. Cultural Diplomacy will be shown to support and solidify
such efforts.

The European-African Alliance Conference 2013
“Enhancing the Inter-cultural Dialogue between Europe and Africa
to Promote the Stability and Economic Development within the Two Continents”
(Brussels,
April 17th - 19th, 2013)
The
ICD recognizes the unique partnership shared by Africa and Europe, two highly
diverse yet interdependent continents. To exemplify this fact and further build
on this mutually beneficial relationship, the second European African Alliance
will be held by the ICD. As the political epicenter of Europe, Brussels will
serve as the venue for this unparalleled conference.
The
conference seeks to explore the dynamics of interregional cooperation between
two major world players; Africa and Europe. Potential paths to the improvement
of exchange in the spheres of economics, politics, and culture will be
examined, drawing upon successful models from their respective experiences. The
European African Alliance also seeks to clarify that, while both continents are
interdependent, they are simultaneously independent. This combination of
cooperative and self-determined action allows Africa and Europe to act as
sponsors of stability within their regions as well as between the regions.
The
first part of the conference will begin by exploring the novel opportunities
that Africa and Europe can seize in the quest to promote their cooperation in
the fields of sustainable development youth education, women empowerment, and
peace and security. The second topic will offer an in-depth analysis of
the current economic situation in both continents and will provide an insight
into corporate behavior and entrepreneurship, allowing parties to exchange
expertise. Finally, the conference will integrate Cultural Diplomacy as a
highly conducive mean of strengthening the European-African alliance.
The
ICD believes that Cultural Diplomacy plays a key role in fortifying Europe and
Africa’s alliance. Through music, cinema, and the arts, both continents can
experience Cultural Diplomacy in practice with the aim of expanding
non-traditional methods of cooperation.
