This article is live and will be updated as our workshop unfolds. Vlogs will be created by our New Diplomacy Challenge winners, and this article will tell their story as they travel to Wilton Park, take part in session discussion and return home - giving you live insight into a Wilton Park dialogue.What IS the New Diplomacy challenge?
What IS the New Diplomacy challenge?
What: We opened up three, fully funded places at our 'New Diplomacy' event to Chevening Scholars, Commonwealth Scholars and FCO Fast Streamers.
How: We asked applicants to submit a short form, along with a selfie style video, telling us what they thought about the future of diplomacy and how they thought diplomats could better engage younger people.
Why: These three places were designed to diversify participation at the workshop, introduce discussion and ideas and form part of a plan to engage younger people in the global diplomacy of the future.
The New Diplomacy Challenge also represents the challenge we have taken on at this workshop to engage more young people in global diplomacy.
