In this year we will continue our online event series „Global Diplomacy Up Close – A Journey through the Federal Foreign Office“, which was started last year. The first event will be on March 3rd with the topic Sustainability. In this session Mr. Martin Bergfelder, Head of Unit for the Foreign Policy Dimension of global health issues, will be introducing the participants in the work of the Foreign Ministry and his work. A special focus will be the UN-Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs) and their implementation.

This event will take place digitally. The registration is open until February 26th.

This series is intended to serve as an exchange platform for our participants with women from diverse backgrounds and diplomatic and foreign policy positions to discuss their careers, their experiences, any encounters with gender stereotypes in their day-to-day work, and their ideas and visions of female diplomacy.
This series will, on the one hand, address the representation of women in political leadership and diplomatic positions and, on the other, discuss what foreign policy might stand to gain by introducing a concept of a feminist foreign policy and discussing the role of women in diplomacy and international affairs.

The alumni programmes of Training for International Diplomates are not only made for our alumni, they are also fueled and inspired by them. In March 2022, we kick-start the second edition of alumni4alumni, our alumni-centred programme composed of three inspiring formats. Mentoring relationships, language tandems, and thematic interest groups offer room for exchange, networking, and mutual learning between the alumni and selected partners. Through these formats, alumni can stay connected, nourish our network, and develop themselves.
