Diplomatic Digest - Media Club

Welcome to the YDS’ Diplomatic Digest, a virtual platform where young minds from around Australia come together to explore and engage in discussions on pressing global issues relevant to international affairs.

​

Our club offers a unique opportunity for individuals aged 18-35 to connect monthly with like-minded peers, fostering meaningful connections and diverse perspectives. Through our curated selection of books and media resources, we delve into the intricacies of international relations, diplomacy, geopolitical trends, and socio-economic developments that shape our world.

​

What sets us apart is our lineup of prominent authors and guest speakers who join us for insightful conversations, providing firsthand insights and deepening our understanding of global affairs. We aren’t another platform where people will talk at you, but rather with you! From thought-provoking discussions to interactive sessions, our club is a dynamic platform for intellectual exploration and personal growth.

​

Join us as we navigate the complexities of our interconnected world, building bridges of understanding, challenging assumptions, and shaping a brighter future through knowledge and dialogue. ​​
