The European Union’s diplomatic efforts and external representation are inherently different from the Member States’ external policies. The EU, with its strong background in peace mediation and public diplomacy, can be considered a unique diplomatic entity and a fascinating study-object.
This unique nature of the EU diplomatic landscape constitutes the centre of the course: a three-day immersive training programme in the historic city of Bruges dedicated to an introduction to EU diplomacy and external representation, and to a set of key diplomatic skills: reporting, communicating, and negotiating – through hands-on exercises with high-level trainers.
A mix of workshops, lectures, and case studies, allows participants to develop a better understanding of the EU as a global actor while fostering their practical diplomatic skills.
