We are very happy to announce that we will have another high-profile key note speaker at our conference. Jean-Christophe Bas, Senior Advisor Strategic Development and Partnerships at the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, will speak on the topic "Unlocking cultural diversity for (sustainable) peace and development. Building Innovative Partnerships".
The Alliance of Civilizations is an initiative of the UN Secretary-General which aims to improve understanding and cooperative relations among nations and peoples across cultures and religions. It focuses most of its work and agenda on the good governance of cultural diversity, and we are very much looking forward to interesting insights into this aspect of diversity management.
