Diplomacy in the 21st century has been profoundly disrupted by the digital revolution, causing a  fundamental paradigm shift - from a G2G (government to government) global policymaking model, to a more proactive P2P (people to people) approach, based on marketing, communications, and storytelling. Information overload, hyper-connectivity, social media, and countless newsfeeds, have led to sectarian discourse, fake news, and echo chambers.

The Charney Forum for New Diplomacy, partners with the University of Haifa, to offer workshops, seminars and conferences with top-notch speakers and experts. Tailor-made to the needs of our participants, we offer diverse  content, presenting a wide range of perspectives about complex issues, providing practical skills and tools to navigate the information overload, global collaborations, and the extensive use of digital platforms.

Real-life case-studies, seminars and workshops feature some of the most compelling speakers, and experts about Public Diplomacy, Place Branding, Social and Behavioral Studies, Ethics, Digital Literacy, and much more! 

Our programs are designed to fit the needs and specifications of diverse participants from the private, social, civil and public sectors (including non-government organizations, civil servants, businesses, faith-based organizations, students, professionals, etc.) across the globe. Programs take place at the participants’ location - in Israel, overseas, and online. Participants receive an official certificate from the University of Haifa and the Charney Forum for New Diplomacy.

New Diplomacy represents the emergence and participation of non- government actors, who are more involved as co-producers of concepts, content, and outcomes in the international arena.  The global crisis created by the Coronavirus exacerbates the disruption in the field of diplomacy, increasing the need to address challenges created by this new reality.

The Charney Forum for New Diplomacy’s mission is to educate participants about the impact of the digital revolution on diplomacy and provide them with practical tool to enrich and adapt to the ever-changing new realities of the age of information. This will be achieved through the exploration, study, and teaching of cutting-edge methodologies in New Diplomacy, Public Diplomacy, Place Branding, Social and Behavioral Studies, Ethics, Digital Literacy, and more!
