Today, I want to drag your attention to one of the most glamorous kinds of diplomacy. We’ll spend some time examining celebrity diplomacy I thought that just before the ending of the vacation season you’ll be happy to focus on a light topic. We’ll keep more serious, or solemn, or dignified – but equally interesting – kinds of diplomacy for further episodes.
As you may know, I have recently taught public diplomacy at a university. I need to say that celebrity diplomacy was my students’ favourite kind of modern, public diplomacy craft. They wrote many interesting essays about it. They appeared to be fans of, first and foremost, Leonardo DiCaprio, who is known for his environment protection campaigns. There were also many fans of Angelina Jolie, underlining her UNICEF campaigns. The third choice among my students was George Clooney, engaged for years in raising awareness about and supplying aid for Darfur. There were also other examples, including Bono’s various campaigns on, for instance, countering HIV/AIDS, Oprah Winfrey’s Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, Emma Watson’s focus on women empowerment and equal rights for all, Priyanka Chopra’s devotion to the access to education and healthcare for girls around the world. They are all global stars with a global reach.
Let&#8217;s explore this phenomenon in greater detail!
BTW &#8211; it&#8217;s my 50th post!!!! Thank you for being here and motivating me to do more and more. Perseverance rocks!

Here it is! After suffering (only a little bit! :)) from a podcasting version of the <a href="http://www.getintothis.co.uk/2017/03/second-album-syndrome-how-blur-my-bloody-valentine-and-others-bands-dodged-the-second-album-bullet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Album Difficulty Syndrome </a>I think I have it &#8211; the new episode I want to share with you.
Your reactions to the first episode blew my mind. I received notes saying that it inspired you (not only girls!)  to go for things that mattered to you. That you learned new things and heard about some of my sheroes for the very first time. I learned that you liked my voice and didn&#8217;t feel bothered by my Central-Eastern European accent <img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> actually, you seemed to like a very expressive &#8220;r&#8221;.
I also got to know that you have high expectations about further episodes.
This is why I started to overanalyse how this podcast should develop. I got stuck for some days. Eventually, concerning the second episode I decided to stay close to the women&#8217;s issues but to look at them from another, more analytical angle, more data-focused perspective. Pakistan, Liberia, Rwanda and their sheroes. Have a listen!
Please tell me what you think of this new episode. Is this the way to go? Is it helpful to you? How does such a podcast make you feel?
There is so much more to be said about women empowerment. Hence, I don&#8217;t exclude the possibility of airing another episode about this issue. Please let me know, which trend or which element of diplomacy you would like me to tackle.  I am very much looking forward to your feedback and further suggestions!
Enjoy the podcast <img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />
