Diplomacy in Practice

The art of diplomacy is something not to be studied in books but acquired throughout a long process of socialising and experience. As we are situated in the heart of international, governmental and non-governmental organisations we have the opportunity to learn from professionals in person. „Diplomacy in Practice” is an event which attempts to unify different elements which are crucial to the art of diplomacy. 

Frank Creations wants to offer students a unique experience: a combination of professional input and networking but also a fun and enjoyable evening. 

In collaboration with Career Committee of the student association Bachelor Students of International Studies (BASIS) Leiden University we want to reach out to students studying in the field of International Studies, International Relations and Political Science. This is a great chance for students and everyone else interested in diplomacy to meet those in the diplomatic field and hear about 30 years of experience.

Where else to hold such an event like this if not at the independent international press centre of the Dutch Parliament itself, the site of the PM’s weekly press conference.
