The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in Africa will focus specifically on the case of Africa. According to the organizers, the conference will “offer perspectives on how cultural diplomacy policies can assist in strengthening existing and future sustainable development policies and, in particular, how cultural diplomacy practices are necessary to express and mediate the rationale behind investment in sustainable development during this challenging period.”
