Engaging the World: EU Public Diplomacy
By Jennifer Hefti
Jennifer Hefti is the former Director of Communications of the Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy and currently resides in Leysin, Switzerland, with her husband.
In September, I had the honor of traveling to Brussels, Belgium as part of the European Union Visitors Program (EUVP) to examine "EU Public Diplomacy." Just like the Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy's flagship program, the Department of State-sponsored International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the EUVP invites young, promising leaders from countries outside the European Union to visit Europe to gain a first-hand appreciation of the EU's goals, policies and peoples and to increase mutual understanding between professionals from non-EU countries and their EU counterparts.
While the EU has no official capital, the European Quarter of Brussels, as they call it, feels just like a capital city. My hotel was located right beside the European Commission with two impressive contemporary buildings: Charlemagne and Berlaymont. My professional program included meetings with representatives of the Directorate-General (DG) for Communication and the DG for Education and Culture in the Commission; the newly-formed European External Action Service - the EU's foreign ministry and diplomatic corps headed by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton; the Parliament; the Committee of the Regions; and, other political groups and think tanks.

UCCD Member Sarah Lewis Recounts Her Experience with Visitors from Poland and Ukraine
As I sit at my desk at Real Salt Lake (a Major League Soccer team) I glance at a postcard from Kyiv, the capital city of the Ukraine, that was a gift to me from a visiting delegation from the Ukraine. Last March, 2010, I had the opportunity to arrange a meeting with our company experts, as well as tour, with delegations from Poland and the Ukraine. Both countries are preparing to host the 2012 UEFA European Football Championships and stopped in Salt Lake City on their U.S. tour to learn from the 2009 MLS Cup Championship staff to learn best practices to help them learn how to host an international sporting event.

Fellini Film Festival December 10, 2011, 11:00 AM-5:30 PM, Salt Lake City Library Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini was one of the most influential and exciting, albeit somewhat controversial, directors of the 20th Century. After a period of working in the Italian Neorealist style, Fellini became interested in the work of Carl Jung and began keeping notebooks of his dreams, complete with illustrations; these notebooks became the inspiration for his later films. Filled with dream like sequences, bizarre, yet archetypal characters, and baroque touches, these films came to define the term "Felliniesque' to film goers. Join The City Library on Saturday, December 10, for three films of the master. The Fellini Film Festival is intended for mature audiences. More info: http://www.slcpl.lib.ut.us/ |
