An Interdisciplinary Approach To Public Diplomacy
The Public Diplomacy Program, taught fully in English, is a joint program of the Communications and Government schools, and the Abba Eban Institute for Diplomacy and Foreign Relations. It utilizes content from Government, Communication, and Marketing, providing students with a deep understanding of today ’ s interdisciplinary diplomatic landscape and teaching them how to deal with a variety of challenges in the diplomatic and advocacy arenas in this contemporary Information Age. Based on the understanding that, nowadays, public diplomacy practices are comprised of five main pillars: Government, Civic Society, Academia, Business, and Media, the program provides students with the rare opportunity to learn from prominent scholars, as well as leading international professionals in these five fields.
In addition to extensive academic knowledge, students are also introduced to a variety of practical tools dealing with content creation, messages promotion, and the shaping of public opinion in the digital age, through various workshops throughout the program.
