This three-day interactive course is designed for participants to learn about EU diplomacy, to share experiences and best practices, and to improve  key diplomatic skills. After a short introduction to the EU's external affairs and the European External Action Service (EEAS), the course will focus on the most relevant diplomatic skills. Practical sessions and exercises on political reporting, effectively communicating across cultures, and political analysis will add to the participants’ knowledge and skillset.

All modules are delivered by high-level experienced professionals in the field of European and national diplomacy, reporting, communication, and negotiations. The programme is designed to be as interactive as possible; active participation is required, and networking opportunities are strongly encouraged throughout the course.
