The focus of the workshop on ‘Modern Diplomacy for Small States‘ was to introduce and discuss practical solutions to problems facing small states in particular, and to share experiences on strategies that yield positive outcomes. The programme included a strong skill-improvement component consisting of simulation exercises and workshops. The course content was drawn from best practices in the area of negotiations, public diplomacy, new technologies, diplomatic protocol, multilateral diplomacy, and the organisation of diplomatic and consular services.Â
