The Practice and Apply Lab Team initiated a series of workshop sessions titled "Communicating Statecraft" delivered by Dr Sławomir DĘBSKI, Visiting Professor at the College of Europe in Natolin.
Communicating statecraft refers to the strategic use of communication by states or their representatives to achieve specific political, diplomatic, or security objectives.
