PREPARING FOR EVENTS: WHAT TO DO BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE EVENT
It's crucial to approach events (conferences, webinars, meetings, etc) with a plan that maps out what we hope to accomplish, how we will manage our time while there, and what steps we will take afterward to capitalize on what we learned.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT - GLOBAL EVENTS
Our Engagement Mechanism is the procedure by which stakeholders in diplomacy can plan, consult, coordinate and contribute expertise on relevant issues.
One of the key goals of the Institute as a non-state stakeholder in diplomacy is to engage in inter-governmental decision and policy-making processes through:
-
(a) supporting the participation of public diplomacy practitioners in intergovernmental events in line with relevant rules of procedure for the respective intergovernmental bodies by applying for special accreditation to respective governing bodies,
-
(b) participation in sessions as subject experts,
-
(c) submission of written or oral statements at various inter-governmental events.
For example, the Institute actively works to ensure the inclusion of gender-specific issues across negotiated outcomes. To support its advocacy, the Institute prepares papers backed by research, submits written or oral statements at various events and communicates key gender equality linkages through outreach.
We provide opportunities for public diplomacy practitioners and researchers operating in different sectors to become active participants in global discussions that aim to develop a broader strategy to shape a better future.
The Institute supports its members in coordinating their work with international organizations, accessing their processes and meaningfully participating in them.

1st International Conference of Aporophobia
Aporophobia’ is a neologism created by the renowned Spanish philosopher Adela Cortina to refer to the phenomenon of ‘rejection of the poor’. It takes different forms and it is not unusual to see the non-poor expressing indifference, disregard, superiority, contempt, antipathy, aversion, fear and even hate towards the poor. The concept of aporophobia helps us to appreciate how a series of social phenomena are interconnected and are part of the same narrative.
