The Chinese approach to public diplomacy – A clash of ideas?

An important vehicle of China’s diplomacy has been Confucius Centers around the world, modeled on long-standing Western equivalents, which offer services ranging from Chinese language lessons, cultural and political information to collaborative Western-Chinese research projects. This kind of Chinese public diplomacy is not always well perceived and is seen as an attempt to undermine Western ‘liberal’ values and gain influence. China on the other hand argues that its diplomacy is a crucial tool to rise peacefully and contribute to a harmonious society. In this BACES-VUB Workshop a number of renowned specialists from China and Europe will discuss the distinct Western or European and Chinese ideas of China’s cultural diplomacy, its rising power and its capacity to influence knowledge production.

Mentorendag - stage in de lerarenopleiding

Als lerarenopleiding hebben we de verantwoordelijkheid om een goede en vakkundige opleiding, op maat van student-leraren, aan te bieden. Onze opleiding dient bij te dragen en te beantwoorden aan een variëteit aan competenties op school. Maar dit kunnen we uiteraard niet zonder u: leraren opleiden en hen een goede leeromgeving bieden is een zaak van opleiding en onderwijsveld samen. Wij zijn m.a.w. partners in het opleiden van leraren.

2008 global financial crisis gave birth to the G20, which marks a new type of global governance. While most of the Western powers’ economy floundered, China has moved up the GDP to the world’s second place, showing another alternative of developmental model. Is the G20 in Hangzhou a demonstration of China’s bid for global economic governance? Does China have an ambition in the leadership?

RHEA Research Seminar 'Black Pete' and 'Fat Maggie': Cases of Contested Symbolic Representation (Soumia Akachar & Karen Celis)

Recently, two surprising debates filled the news pages. First, there was the heated debate around Black Pete (Zwarte Piet), a persona in the Dutch-Belgian traditional children's festivity who became associated with racism. Next there was the commotion around the Belgian Minister of Public Health Maggie De Block, who was under fire for being too fat for her function. What is similar in these at first sight disconnected cases, is that in both two seemingly trivial issues became highly politicized. In order to understand why such a commotion arises, why at this particular point in time and what the nature of the controversy actually was, our study contends that these two cases should be seen as processes of symbolic representation.
