Can a country reverse its negative image? What methods can Public Diplomacy use to enhance a country’s image? How can positive momentum be used to sway public opinion? Has the public image of Greece changed over the past few months?
The internationally renowned Professors Nicholas J. Cull (University of Southern California) and Stathis Kalyvas (University of Oxford), will be asked to address these -and many more- questions during the first online “Greek PD Talks” (Public Diplomacy Talks) on “Turning the Tide: How to reverse a negative image - The case of Greece” on Thursday, June 18th, 2020 at 19:30 (Αthens local time).
The Greek PD Talks is a forum inaugurated this year by the General Secretariat for Public Diplomacy of the Greek Foreign Ministry, providing a platform for a vibrant exchange of views and best practices on Public Diplomacy affairs.
The first round of the PD Talks discussion focuses on how to better manage and promote the country’s national image, a priority of the General Secretariat for Public Diplomacy, which gains an additional interest in the post-pandemic era, taking into account the positive momentum reflected in international reports on Greece.
Welcome speeches by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Diaspora Greeks, Konstantinos Vlasis and Secretary General for Public Diplomacy, Religious and Consular Affairs, Constantinos Alexandris. Renee Maltezou, Reuters political and general news correspondent, will moderate the discussion.
