Inheritance of the 2018 transformative trends affecting 2019
This statement by Tiberio Graziani is delivered by our Diplomatic Council Partner Diplomat Magazine.
The main transformative trends in 2018 that will affect next year will concern at least the following three different global and interconnected sectors: Economic & Financial Area; Security; Dismantling of the Old World Order.
Economic & Financial Area
In line with tradition, the Diplomatic Council Executive Club will take place on February 1 in the afternoon before the festive Gala. Gold and silver members would meet from 2pm to 5pm to listen to exciting presentations, to discuss relevant topics and to get to know each other better. This year a long coffee break is scheduled so participants have sufficient time for intensive exchange.
The agenda is as follows:
At the gala 2019, the Diplomatic Council will start supporting the Don Bosco gastronomy school in Vietnam. At this school, young people receive educational trainings to become a baker, cook or service person so they can earn their living. This educational training is intended for young persons from very poor families or adolescents with disabilities. Besides the training at the cooking school, these young people are also given a home in a very simple house which is financed by donations.
Dear Members,
the end of the year is approaching and finally the time has come to get together with our family and friends in peace and harmony. And while we sit at the richly served tables eating and drinking more than we can tolerate, we should be grateful and humble first and foremost. Grateful because nothing we own can ever be taken for granted and humble because all we possess is a precious gift.
On February 1, international dignitaries from diplomacy, business and society will get together in the time-honoured halls of the prestigious Frankfurt Grandhotel Hessischer Hof for the glamorous Diplomatic Council Gala.
