Hi all,

I'm cross-posting the message below, since I know DC Wikipedians have been involved in these kinds of activities as well and may be interested.

Hi all,

I thought you might be interested that the Diplo Foundation (who organise various courses for diplomats) is planning to organize a course on how to connect public diplomacy (i.e. country PR done by diplomats) with Wikipedia.

There have been a few interesting programmes in this area (e.g. embassies sponsoring writing contests on Wikipedia), and it might be interesting if through the activities of this Foundation more collaboration were to happen. (Btw, if you know of such examples of collaboration in the past, please let me know.)

As a first step in the process, next Friday (21 June, 2013 13:00 GMT) there is going to be a public online debate on this topic. If you are interested, or know someone who could be interested, check out the flyer at: http://www.diplomacy.edu/calendar/webinar-wikipedia-diplomats

Best regards, Bence
