Staff members of the Diplomatic Magazine were welcomed at the Clingendael Institute. They attended a short workshop in international negotiations provided by Clingendael Academy’s Director Ron Ton. The workshop was related to negotiate in a diplomatic environment, training on a competence model to stay in control of complex negotiation situations, an assessment exercise to indentify a personal negotiations profile and a role play on diplomatic transport. “Training on international skills is a core task of the Clingendael Academy. The Academy is also famous in the world for the training of NL and foreign diplomats. Other programmes within the Academy include European integration, international security, open enrollment courses and capacity building for the development of diplomatic academies. The Clingendael Institute consists of a Research and Public information department as well”, said Mr. Ron Ton.
