AGORA Cultural Diplomacy Youth Forum[edit]
The Hellenic Institute of Cultural Diplomacy, in order to bring the key issues of Greek Identity to the public debate, has created the first Cultural Diplomacy Forum in Greece entitled as AGORA Cultural Diplomacy Youth Forum[19].
The theme of the event is to introduce students and young people to the core of Cultural Diplomacy by examining its aspects in the frame of the use of social media. Through an interaction, young people have the opportunity to express their views and shape the flow of the discussion within an ”AGORA” (public square/marketplace) .
The speech moves from the podium to the square, where participants speak for 1 minute placement on the subject, which will be introduced by the four-member panel. In this way it is designed for the listener not to be a passive recipient of information but an active interlocutor who would engage creatively in the dialogue.
The target audience ranges from 18 to 30 years of age, and is not excluded by anyone of any other age.
