❝"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫!"❞ We hear that a lot as a young professionals' forum. It should be as cheap as possible, with little effort. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠! 🕊️Personal exchange is more important than ever, this is how we get to know each other better, this is how we build trust, this is how we lay the foundation for a successful and peaceful dialogue. 🗣️At the same time, young people learn to discuss things directly, to weigh up opinions and to find common positions. 🕸️We build networks that last. Sure, digital meetings are good interim solutions, but face-to-face meetings build networks that last. Shared experiences connect people for decades. 🧠 Like everything else in life, political disputes on the international stage have to be learned; diplomacy requires years of practice. We contribute to this, that's why we organize NATO's Futur Seminar from October 27-29 on Berlin. 💡 More information here: https://lnkd.in/e74mtv_6 Apply today!

In July, United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres launched a new policy brief outlining his vision of a more robust multilateral framework to boost peace and security, for a world in flux. The brief, known as The New Agenda for Peace “outlines an extensive and ambitious set of recommendations that recognize the inter-linked nature of many of these challenges,” Mr. Guterres said. The New Agenda for Peace presents twelve concrete sets of proposals for action, in five priority areas. 1) strong measures to prevent conflicts at the global level. 2) a “paradigm for prevention that addresses all forms of violence”. 3) updating peacekeeping operations. 4) Preventing weaponization of emerging domains and technologies and promoting responsible innovation. 5) urgent reforms to the Security Council, General Assembly, the UN’s disarmament machinery, and the Peacebuilding Commission, to enhance collective security. It is World Peace Day next Thursday so what an opportunity on this day to join a ValuesJam Deepdive conversation into the topic of Peace from 5 - 6.30pm BST 21st September, introduced by Roy Leighton MPhil (Cantab) FRSA and Dr. Phill Gittins.

Project: G20 International Conferences (Development and Management of 24 Hybrid Events over 8 Weeks)   In the realm of global diplomacy and collaboration, few events rival the significance and complexity of the G20 International Conferences. Over the course of eight intense weeks, I had the distinct privilege of spearheading the development and management of a series of 24 hybrid events that brought together top global leaders, ministers, and high-level dignitaries from over 46 countries. Our task was nothing short of monumental, as we seamlessly navigated through five continents and 20 time zones.   Our scope encompassed a multifaceted approach, including the orchestration of hybrid events with both physical and virtual components. We deployed state-of-the-art communications technology to bridge geographical gaps and ensure a cohesive experience for participants worldwide. From agenda and speakers management to venue production, public relations with international media exposure, and social media campaigns, every facet of these events was meticulously planned and executed.   As we reflect on these remarkable G20 International Conferences, it becomes evident that our dedication to precision, innovation, and global connectivity is at the heart of our success.
