Building Capacity in Digital Skills and Strategic Thinking
CPD is pleased to announce its expanded Winter training schedule. Next on the calendar is our Effective Public Diplomacy Strategy and Planning (March 15-19, 2021). Our one-of-a-kind professional training academy helps equip practitioners with key skills needed to deploy effective and impactful public diplomacy.
CPD has been the innovative leader in training public diplomats, scholars, and communication professionals for over 16 years. Our training utilizes the latest social science research and cutting-edge communication tools in real-time public diplomacy challenges. It provides a setting for practitioners to re-examine and refine their skills in a group of peers and to build an international network of colleagues.
As usual, our online workshops take a deep dive into some of the most critical issues in designing effective and sophisticated public diplomacy strategies with our leading scholars and experts. The intensive, fast-paced learning also allows for personalization, as participants bring real-time projects to exercise their skills and to problem-solve with faculty and peer participants.
