presentations and a field trip. It is a ten-day event that has been
organised every summer since 1996, and it has a vast network of alumni and
partners.

The central theme of 2013
In 2013 the main theme of the summer school focuses on the cultural
diplomacy in the frame of ICWiP Debate Summer Academy, a very special
edition of ICWiP in its entirehistory! The title “Culture or Diplomacy in
Our Global World” was carefully chosen to incorporate topics from different
