When it comes to one of the most intriguing „couplings“ of our time, diplomacy and media, HB DCC aims to put together two, in principle, contradictory communities: those who work behind the scene and those whose goal is to expose, investigate. The aim is to provide a platform to both diplomats and media activists to share their views and opinions on topics of mutual interest related to international development, and to enhance mutual communication. Media could benefit from first-hand opportunity to enhance insight and knowledge about the international development, whilst diplomats could benefit from the opportunity to put across appropriately their views and messages. The exchanges and debates are held under the mutually agreed restricted rules, in closed sessions.
