Contexte
There is a substantial demand for practitioner-led learning that bridges academic analysis with practical application. This workshop responds to that need through a structured and interactive exchange with experienced multilateral professionals. The workshop will focus on how global governance institutions operate within a multilateral environment shaped by shifting geopolitical dynamics, emerging global crises, technological transformation, and growing demands for accountability and inclusion. It will examine how evidence informs policymaking under conditions of uncertainty and how diplomacy, peacebuilding, and advocacy interact within complex international systems.
