from linkedin Katarzyna Rybka-Iwańska • 1st Head, Political and Economic Section, Embassy of Poland in Israel 1d This week I had the pleasure of helping students of the Meitarim High School in Raanana (some 15 km from Tel Aviv) in their preparations to the inter-school project "United Nations Conference Model". In the project, teams representing several Israeli schools play roles of different UN Security Members and present their positions at a "global" gathering. Poland is the UNSC non-permanent member 2018-2019. Meitarim students play the role of of our country in the project and wanted to know everything about our positions on global challenges. They didn't accept easy, "diplomatic" answers. They really WANTED TO KNOW and demanded clear YES or NO answers. There were a lot of WHYs. I was grilled! I really love this curiosity of young bright minds and wish that they never cease to ask shrewd questions. They will certainly rock the world with them. And again: I love my public d..

The embassy functions through a foreign ministry-run Twitter account named “Israel in the GCC.” The account was originally launched in July 2013 and had a seven-month run before ceasing operations.

Kyra Taubel-Bruce, gilmanprogram, February 9, 2019 If you had asked me three years ago what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said a journalist. My five-year plan was to graduate, get a job at a local news organization, and to seek the truth and report it.Receiving the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship changed almost all of that by allowing me to study abroad in the Czech Republic in 2017. I studied mass media, politics, and diplomacy at Charles University in Prague where I learned how to translate my passion for journalism into public diplomacy [JB emphasis] and global communications.In class I studied the impacts of authoritarian regimes and censorship, visited the Radio Free Europe headquarters, met with Czech diplomats, and studied the political history of Central and Eastern Europe. These experiences helped to shape my academic interests, but it was the time I spent studying diplomacy with a former diplomat and at the U.S. Embassy’s American Center that completely reshaped ..

Book review by Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times, Feb. 6, 2019; original article contains additional illustrations and links JB personal note: When (as I later found out) the Chernobyl disaster occurred, I traveled by motor car to eastern Poland (in the Chernobyl "radioactive" zone), invited to give a talk on the United States at a local organization, in my capacity as a "public diplomacy" American diplomat. I arrived at this rather obscure location earlier than expected, and to kill time I took a walk, which led me to a local cemetery, for perhaps an hour ... BTW, my talk (thanks to radioactivity?) was, far beyond my expectations, not badly received. The word “Chernobyl” has long been synonymous with the catastrophic reactor explosion of 1986 — grim shorthand for what still qualifies, more than three decades later, as the world’s worst nuclear disaster. As infamous as it is now, it’s easy to forget that the calamity seemed to drift to international attention as if by accident. A fu..
