Online Meetings and Conferences: How to Run Effective and Secure Events
2021-01-22 | Online
It is amazing how an online course could encompass all these teaching methods: text to read, lively discussions, critique, team work, staff mentorship, and hands-on practice. We could learn in a cozy, enjoyable atmosphere, yet powerful and demanding. As with all Diplo courses I would say e-learning with Diplo is immersive, innovative. It is addictive!!!
– Yasir Elsanousi, Deputy Director, Elsabil Charitable Health Center, Sudan

Online meetings and conferences are now a necessity for most organisations.
In this highly interactive, practice-based course participants learn how to plan, manage, and run successful online events: choosing and using an appropriate technical platform, planning the entire process from the initial idea to follow up, and effectively moderating interaction in an online environment.
The application deadline is 8 January 2020.

Executive Director
Jovan KurbalijaAs we move through history, our aim will be to discover how civilizations dealt with ‘new’ technologies, from simple writing to telegraph, and nowadays the internet.
On 28 January we will set the stage for our learning journey through history, by focusing on:

the interplay between continuity and change in the evolution of diplomacy and technology
information and communication (two core pillars of diplomacy)
the impact of technology on the political environment in which diplomats operated at the time, the issues they tried to solve, and the tools they used in diplomatic practice

On this journey, we hope to understand underlying patterns in tech-society interplays, and get some hints on how to deal with current challenges, and those ahead of us.
Join us for the first episode on Thursday, 28th January, at 8am EST (13:00 UTC | 14:00 CET | 21:00 CST).
