Theme: Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power in the Age of Algorithms
In today’s world, the internet and social media connect people across the globe, and algorithms decide what content we see and as a result shape our online experience.
As a result, we see nations building their soft power by influencing others through culture, values, and customs. Countries promote cultural diplomacy and use culture as a bridge to build relations.
The international Youth Forum is bringing together emerging leaders and experts from every walk of life to explore diverse cultures, advance technologies and global relations, fostering dialogue and mutual understanding in the digital era.
- Exploring how digital platforms and algorithms shape cultural narratives and soft power.
- Outlining ethical and inclusive strategies for practicing digital diplomacy.
- Drawing insights from successful cultural diplomacy initiatives at global and regional levels.
