United States of America: at a glance
Get PDF“Public diplomacy” is primarily intended to support the goals of U.S. foreign policy, economic aims, and protect national interests and security by influencing the public abroad. In this, cultural and educational promotion plays a mostly subordinate role to geopolitics. The US ECP system reflects the privatized national understanding of culture, which is intended to be largely independent of the state. While such a system could create incoherence in other circumstances, the US has the luxury of falling back on its private sector sources of soft power.

Enabling Plural Ways of Knowing
No full textAnthropological attempts at teaching and researching offer ideas which could be useful for International Cultural Relations in bringing people closer to each other in order to create spaces of joint learning and growing. In this article, two projects which offer examples of collaborative learning across difference (national, social, cultural, class, etc.) are introduced. These examples highlight why such work is needed. The first project – a teaching project – introduces a learning approach which connects body and mind through tools and thus engenders spaces for joint thinking, reflecting and even silence. The second project – a research project – provides insights into a workshop explicitly aimed at creating equitable space for its participants in terms not only of their knowledge but also of their ways of knowing
Next Generation UK 2024
No full textNext Generation UK 2024 offers insights into the lives of young people across the country. It explores the hopes that they hold for themselves, the most pressing issues they see in the UK, and globally, and how they view their place in the world.
The report reveals that young people remain optimistic about their futures, despite facing a number of challenges in their daily lives, particularly around housing and employment. They are globally-minded, balancing their concerns about issues such as climate change, conflict and inequality, with the belief that they, and the country, can and should make the effort to address them.

This report offers valuable insights into how we can all support the UK’s next generation in achieving their aspirations for a more peaceful and prosperous world
