Inmaculada Ballesteros, Jimena Durán and Paul García de Oteyza talk to Javier Gila

Soft power to move forward

Segovia 2025, 

Diplomacy is the backbone of international relations from which each nation weaves its multilateral strategies. But there are many paths, and soft policy and soft power seek to influence the chessboard of international politics through cultural and ideological means that sometimes serve to argue better and to generate détente. Inmaculada Ballesteros, Paul García de Oteyza and Jimena Durán will discuss how to approach these alternative spaces in this event. The event will be moderated by Javier Gila, president of the NGO AIDA, which focuses on the fight against poverty in developing countries.
