  • seeking to advance commerce or a cause in Germany?

Why Germany (Berlin)?
Advocating in Germany will explore the challenges of advocacy and communications as an organization in countries throughout the region, particularly from a public relations and communications perspective.
 
During our travel period in Berlin, students will gain insights into successfully Advocating in Germany from the exchange of ideas with business, communications, media and public affairs, diplomatic, and political leaders.
