To every participant who joined our Diplomatic Dialogue on Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power, thank you for making the session exceptional.

It was inspiring to engage with such brilliant minds committed to understanding how culture, dialogue, and influence shape our interconnected world.

At the African School of Diplomacy and International Relations (AFSDIR), we believe that every conversation has the power to build bridges, strengthen partnerships, and inspire global change. Your presence reminded us why these conversations matter.

This is only the beginning. We look forward to welcoming you to more impactful dialogues as we continue raising the next generation of globally minded leaders.

Some of the best learning happens when people go beyond just attending and actively engage in the conversation.

To recognise this commitment, our two most active mentees received personally signed copies of How to Get to the Top, one of the books authored by Prof. Tunji Asaolu, CEO of the African School of Diplomacy and International Relations (ASDIR) and Secretary-General of the United World Congress of Diplomats (UWCD).

The books were personally presented by Prof. Tunji Asaolu himself, making the moment even more special.

We are especially grateful to Prof. Tunji Asaolu for this thoughtful gesture. Beyond sharing valuable insights throughout the programme, he took the extra step to encourage excellence and continuous learning through these personally signed copies, making the recognition even more special.

Congratulations to our recipients on this well-deserved recognition. We celebrate your enthusiasm, engagement, and dedication to learning.

Interested in getting your own copy of How to Get to the Top? Send us a DM, and we'll be happy to assist.
