What is this program all about?
Theme: Digital Soft Power and Cultural Diplomacy in the Age of Algorithms.
Imagine a world connected by the internet and social media. Algorithms (such as those that determine what you see online) play a major role in shaping our experiences.
As a result, significant changes have occurred in how countries build “soft power” (influencing others to like and respect them through culture and ideas) and “cultural diplomacy” (connecting with other countries using culture).
This international youth forum gathers leaders from various fields to discuss the interconnectedness of technology, culture, and international relations, aiming to promote understanding and dialogue in the digital age.
