Arts as Cultural Diplomacy: A Forum for
Young Leaders
The Role of the Arts in Shaping Europe’s Future
Dear Participants,
We are delighted to welcome you to the inaugural seminar: “The Arts as Cultural Diplomacy: A Forum for Young
Leaders”. Through the course of the seminar, we will examine the concept of Cultural Diplomacy through the
media of the Arts.
Arts as Cultural Diplomacy: A Forum for Young Leaders | 11th July 2010 – 17th July 2010
We will endeavour to explore how a better understanding between cultures can be brought about through art.
Art takes many different forms, transcends genre, age and frontiers and is thought provoking. It is a witness to the
ever-changing societies of its past, present and future. We want to give you the opportunity to enjoy discussions
and exchanges with professionals and future professionals of the art world, to ponder about how best to use the
Arts as a diplomatic tool. What has been done to this effect and how successful it was and can be in the future.
1
Throughout this week, you will be able to learn from the experience of artists as well as policy-makers. We will
take a deeper look at the framework regulating the diffusion of cultural products as well as the process of
elaborating art and exporting it to different countries and cultures. Through a series of lectures, discussions and
workshops, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in this seminar and ask questions, as well as give
answers. As a participant, you will find yourself among people as eager as you to learn more about the cultural
sector and the possibility to involve themselves and adopt a leadership attitude in this field.
But apart from discussing art as a tool for Cultural Diplomacy, we also want to make sure that you get to
experience the wealth that Berlin has to offer as one of the most culturally diverse cities in Europe. In Berlin, you
will see that art is present all around, from street art and tags, to jam sessions in parks, the theatre and the opera.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this week with you.
Best Wishes,
The Arts as Cultural Diplomacy Team

Our Partners
European Cultural Parliament
According to the ECP, the European idea is based on a balance of
respect for the diversity of cultures in Europe and cross-cultural
tolerance and understanding. Founded in 2001, the European
Cultural Parliament is promoting the dialogue, discussion and debate about main issues concerning the cooperation, democracy and culture in Europe. The ECP offers a forum for regular debates between independent

Composed of around 40 musicians from 20 different nations, and independent of
external sponsorship, the MCO plays operas and concerts all over the world, in cities as
well as at exclusive festivals from the North Pole to the Red Sea. The ensemble‟s repertoire reaches from baroque
to contemporary and includes everything from chamber music to symphonic programming, from operatic
standards to world premieres. Its organization and method of operation make it a model for the future of the
European orchestral landscape.
Cultural soul of Europe is becoming increasingly more important as a
means of bringing Europeans together while determining to an ever
greater degree the ability of the EU to act in its dealings with
neighboring states and the rest of the world. For this reason, “A Soul
for Europe” initiative helps moving cultural activities out of their
cultural confines and makes them effective for Europe as a whole. The initiative has brought important cultural
figures together with politicians as well as representatives of the business sector and other areas of society and
encouraged them to work together to strengthen the cultural component in Europe.

Some of the locations we will be visiting :
Kunsthaus Tacheles
The Kunsthaus Tacheles, is a former department store which now houses a self-organised collective of artists in
Berlin-Mitte. Constructed in 1908, the building was used as a passage to connect Friedrichstraße and
Oranienburger Straße. Increasingly used by Nazi party members in the early 1930s and the building was heavily
damaged during World War II, though a large portion of it survived intact. The building was scheduled to be
demolished in April 1990. Therefore some artists that took over the building a few months before prevented the
demolition. Due to the individualistic character of the building and the mass of creative activities taking place, the
Tacheles soon became famous. Right from the start, Tacheles was a centre of development and realization of
individual ways of thinking, of the creative contamination of art and living as well as the testing of artistic and
urban ideas. Many international artists staged performances or concerts here, exhibited paintings, sculptures and
installations. Among the early exhibitors were artist Mark Divo, sculptors the Mutoid Waste Company,
musicians Spiral Tribe, theatre group DNTT, performance artist Lennie Lee, dancer/ choreographer Sasha
Waltz, Ramm Theater, and many others.
RADIALSYSTEM V
Formerly Berlin's largest pumping station, the RADIALSYSTEM V (pictured below) was opened in September
2006, as a new creative space for the arts in Berlin. It currently functions as a cultural centre where new ideas
'radiate' out in all directions, attracting artists and the public from within as well as beyond the city limits of
Berlin.
21
The conceptual direction of RADIALSYSTEM V is closely connected to the structure and aesthetics of the
building, a successful symbiosis of old and new, and of tradition and modernity. Moreover, it follows the
principle 'form follows function', revealing a clear and simple use of space. Using the empty rooms as a starting
point, all areas can be used flexibly and can be transformed as needed.
Working with artists, ensembles, and other partners, RADIALSYSTEM V strives to develop genre spanning,
innovative artistic formats, setting them into practice. Various art forms meet in the creative process, inspiring
one another, with special emphasis placed on contemporary dance and early music. The ensembles Sasha Waltz &
Guests, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Vocalconsort Berlin and Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop are closely
connected to the house in the rehearsal and production processes, performing regularly at RADIALSYSTEM V.
RADIALSYSTEM V. is well known as a place for innovative art performances of high quality.

.. and a few insider tips of things to do in Berlin from our team:
Marine:
If you have a free Sunday, I‟d recommend hanging out at Mauer Park. There you'll find a gathering of people
having a lot of fun, lying around in the sun, finding great bargains at the Flea Market and then sitting with a cool
drink to enjoy the Karaoke. Karaoke at Mauerpark is a longstanding rendezvous that Berliners have every Sunday.
Sitting on the grass or in the stands, they listen to any brave singers and sing along. Fun and clapping guaranteed!
That's my tip!
Joanna:
Club der Visionäre, this bar resembles everything Berlin stands for. It is a street style bar at the riverside with an
outdoor deck area. Come along and drink a cocktail while dipping your feet in the water.
http://clubdervisionaererecords.com/
Frankie:
Take advantage of the riverside bars in Friedrichshain while you still have the chance – the planned development
of this stretch of the Spree will see old favourites like Bar 25, Yaam and Club Maria closing down in the not too
distant future.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is expected of me during the Weeklong Seminar?
One of the aims of the Seminar is to enable dialogue between people from different cultural backgrounds, and we
therefore hope above all that you will be willing to share your ideas, experiences and expertise during the
seminars and workshops. We are working to a very tight schedule this week, so punctuality is extremely
important. We will have designated meeting places near the locations, and we expect you to be on time so that
sessions can start promptly and enough time is left for discussion. As a city, Berlin is very spread out so please
allow enough time to reach the meeting points.
Moreover, we suggest the participants prepare a ten minutes presentation about a topic related to the seminar; it
represents an important occasion for the exchange of ideas and self-improvement. They should prepare some
questions for the speakers as well, so that you can have an active and interesting participation in the seminar..
What do I do for lunch?
We will try to ensure you have fairly long lunch breaks to give you time to chat about the morning session. We
will recommend a couple of nearby cafes or restaurants at the end of each session and encourage you to eat
together!
Yes! Alongside academic lectures and discussions, there will be social events, such as dinner arrangements
scheduled throughout the week. Although these dinners are not mandatory in regard to attendance, they are great
opportunities to enjoy different cuisines with your fellow participants and engage in conversation about the days„
events. Suggestions will be given on places to go after each dinner in case you desire further evening
entertainment. On Thursday evenings, Berlin„s museums are free to the public from 18.00 to 22.00.
Where does my 195 Euro participation cost g o?
The ICD is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, which relies on private sponsorship and donations,
and the support of a number of volunteers and interns. Your money goes towards the cost of developing and
running the seminar (marketing, overheads, human resources, refreshments). Please note that the tuition fee does
not cover accommodation, food & drink, or transport during the Weeklong Seminar.
Will there be social activities organized?
