We take this opportunity to wish you and your families a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 2025 .
This year 2024 has been very rich , inspiring , through travel , meeting new people , sharing views , bring new colleagues together , teaching new students , creating new seminars, meeting new partners for our institute .
After two years of hard work, organising the administrative structure, interviewing professors, travelling to meet new ones, and meeting possible academic and extra-curricular partners , we believe that 2025 will be a good year for our institute .
Following the annual General Assembly on December 16, as President and founder of TFI, I was pleased to report back to our newly nominated administrators, our loyal founding members, and to our professors, both old and new !
In January, we will launch our research center , Sustainable Diplomacy Circle , and its flagship publication , Sustainable Diplomacy, which will be the ideal partners of our institute, allowing our professors and students to conduct research , organise events, seminars and publish the results in our publication .
We are in the planning stages of our 2nd annual French Riviera Retreat 🦩, which will take place in the last half of June . Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks .
Stay tuned to our podcast , Mediterranean Sustainability Partners which closes out 2024 with 32 episodes , where I have interviewed a variety of experts across many time zones, economic sectors and geographies , mostly in English …with only four episodes in French !
Nonetheless, our reach continues and at this writing , the podcast has attained audiences in 83 countries, with Kenya being the last country to join us in 2024.
We at the Trocadéro Forum Institute are sincerely dedicated to making an impact not only by training and preparing a new generation of leaders in Sustainable Leadership & Diplomacy, but also contributing to a true spirit of intercultural and transnational cooperation and collaboration , with the ultimate goal of creating the ideal ecosystem for an enduring peace on earth.
Best wishes from all of us to all of you ,
Ellen Wasylina
