Nominations for theย 10th ASEF Public Diplomacy Training 2022ย are now open.
The ASEF Public Diplomacy Training (ASEFPDT) combines participatory online learning and face-to-face interactions facilitated by public diplomacy experts and trainers.
The modules are designed to keep participants abreast of new developments in the field through peer-to-peer learning, analysing case studies and designing strategic campaigns. The primary objective of the online course is to enhance the participantsโ€™ skills to listen, understand, exchange views, collaborate and deliver an effective message to shape public perception and opinion in the context of Asia-Europe relations.
Structure & Content
10th ASEFPDT โ€“ Online Course (September โ€“ October 2022)
The online component of ASEFPDT10 is designed and managed byย DiploFoundation. Participants will read the provided lecture text, adding questions, comments and references in the form of hypertext entries on an online training platform. The course methodology is based on collaborative approach to learning, which means that the trainers and other participants will read and respond to these entries, creating interactions based on the lecture text.

All course activities are asynchronous so that participants can take care of these activities whenever it is convenient for them. The only fixed activity is the one-hour long weekly session where trainers and participants will meet in either a chat room or a Zoom meeting room to discuss the weekly topic.Focus time required per week over the course of 8 weeks: 4 hours (including a chat session).
