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.
