The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (www.culturaldiplomacy.org (http://www.culturaldiplomacy.org/)) is currently accepting applications for the next Weeklong Seminar for “The United States Meets Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders” (USAME).

What will the Weeklong Seminar involve?
The program for the Weeklong Seminar will consist of lectures, seminars, workshops, and cultural activities in and around Berlin. The participants will meet with leading figures from the political, diplomatic, academic and civil society spheres to discuss key issues in transatlantic relations and how these relations can be supported through organized cultural exchange.

What are the aims of the Weeklong Seminar?
The Weeklong Seminar aims to inform the participants about the field of Cultural Diplomacy and its importance today, raise awareness of key issues in American-European relations, create an active network between the Seminar participants, and provide the participants with creative ideas and support for future initiatives.

After completing the Weeklong Seminar the participants become members of the USAME Forum. They are then supported by the ICD in conducting research, in organizing and developing leadership initiatives, and are invited to join the ICD Online Forum where they can network with the other Young Leaders from around the world.
