Welcome to “Society & Diplomacy,” a platform devoted to exploring the role of diplomacy in shaping a more inclusive and interconnected world. In an era where global challenges require cooperative solutions, Jochen Werne brings his experience in public diplomacy and people’s diplomacy — diplomacy by and for the people—to foster understanding and bridge cultural divides. This space is dedicated to conversations on how individuals, institutions, and nations can promote peace, empathy, and shared progress.
“Society & Diplomacy” goes beyond traditional state diplomacy, highlighting the power of people-to-people connections to drive meaningful change. Drawing on Jochen’s work with NGOs, his insides ans a member of the Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs and as an honorary ambassador, we delve into how people’s diplomacy can encourage international collaboration, build cultural appreciation, and inspire trust among diverse communities. Through articles, reflections, and case studies, this page invites readers to consider how ordinary citizens and leaders alike can contribute to a more cooperative and respectful global society.
Whether you’re passionate about global issues, curious about the role of diplomacy in today’s world, or interested in fostering intercultural relationships, “Society & Diplomacy” is a space for insights on how shared values and people-driven initiatives can create lasting impact. Join us as we explore how the spirit of diplomacy can help build a world where everyone has a voice.
