Global Diplomacy Lab (GDL)
The nature of diplomacy is evolving. It is no longer the strict purview of national governments and international organizations. The Global Diplomacy Lab (GDL) is a platform for exploring a new and more inclusive diplomacy which goes beyond traditional politics. Therefore, creative professionals from various fields are needed to explore new tools of communication on the basis of mutual trust and to re-formulate an agenda for collective action. What should diplomacy look like in the future? Which competences do we need in order to better identify our scope of action? These are questions that the German Federal Foreign Office, under the patronage of Federal Foreign Minister and in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt, the German-American Fulbright Commission, and the International Alumni Center (iac Berlin) are eager to investigate together with outstanding members of their networks from all continents. The GDL is a member-driven organization, meaning that its labs, as well as additional activities, are co-created by the members themselves. This account is managed by a GDL member.
