Description

Join UCCD in our first Cultural Diplomacy Event of the year! Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy has lunched a new program called Cultural Diplomacy Events - these are small community events hosted once a month where we introduce people to food, music, games, sports, and other cultural aspects of our local community. The value of these events is that it's an excellent opportunity to highlight and support local businesses while bridging community divides through diplomacy. This month is our Teaplomacy event. Partnering with a Utah local business, Tea Zaanti, we will host an educational session where we dive into the importance of sharing one tea at a time. There is limited space so RSVP now! We hope to see you there. The Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy believes that everyone has the right, even the responsibility to help shape U.S. foreign policy “one handshake at a time,” and since 1967, we at UCCD have fostered citizen diplomacy by creating meaningful person-to-person interactions with individuals from other countries and cultures. UCCD works with the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program and other exchange programs to welcome hundreds of emerging leaders from around the world to Utah to meet with like-minded professionals, businesses, government agencies, and organizations to exchange best practices and create networks while experiencing Utah’s unique culture. Additionally, UCCD invites the local community to attend the Ambassador John Price and Marcia Price World Affairs Lecture Series, a free and open to the public event.  This lecture series features experts who come from a wide range of disciplines to speak about relevant foreign diplomacy topics resulting in a globally savvy community. Citizen diplomacy is a powerful tool for creating sustaining economic and social relationships in a globally connected world.  To learn more, please visit utahdiplomacy.org
