  • Brussels-Bruges Report 2008
    INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON DIPLOMATIC TRAINING 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors of Diplomatic Academies and Institutes of International Relations College of Europe Brussels and Bruges 24 – 26 September 2008 The 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors returned to Europe with fond memories of the remarkable Meeting at Maputo in 2007. The co-chairs opened the meeting with renewed thanks and congratulations to the host institutions in Mozambique and South Africa. The College of Europe had organised a similarly innovative programme, commencing in the magnificent Egmont Palace in Brussels, and concluding in the calm beauty of the College in Bruges. In addition to being mounted in two centres, the programme offered for the first time the opportunity to pursue more than one theme, in a series of parallel workshops on current practical aspects of diplomacy. Paul Demaret, Rector of the College of Europe, welcomed Members to the meeting, observing that in troubled times it was more than ever the task of diplomacy to keep channels of communication open. The training of diplomats was central to that mission. Ambassador Jiři Gruša, Director of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, noted that diplomacy required an intimate alignment of expert knowledge and human skills, combining efficacy with ethics, economics with cultural awareness. Diplomatic academies harnessed old virtues – wisdom, balance, courage, moderation – to meet new challenges. The Forum had a special contribution to make, a global network of partners helping to forge common understanding and foster non-totalitarian mentality. Professor Casimir Yost brought greetings from one of the founding fathers of the Forum, Dean Peter Krogh, who on this occasion had shown once again strategic vision in putting domestic diplomacy ahead of international diplomacy.
