About
About the goal
The main goal of Interviews with Diplomats, Get to know Everything about Diplomacy is to inform listeners and readers on what Diplomacy is, and what Diplomats their duties are.
Societal goal
My societal goal with these interviews is to raise awareness for what diplomacy is, as it is one of the most important aspects of geopolitics.
Fact-based dialogue
The world is seeing an increase in fake-news through for example Artifical Inteligence and misinformation. With these interviews, I strive for a fact-based dialogue which is supported by facts rather than a narrative or ideology.
Inspiration for the youth
Although geopolitics and diplomacy can be considered quiet boring, I think that the youth should interact with those two subjects, since it can increase awareness, and allows young people to make wiser decisions.
This also relates to the fact-based dialogue, since globally there is an increase in the youth following the news through the use of social media. The limitation of social media is that everyone can post something, therefore inform, which increases the chance of the information being incorrect, and being driven by a narrative or ideology rather than facts.
The guests in the interviews are highly trained and experienced professionals who share factual information, rather than trying to push a narrative or ideology.
Conducting interviews with qualified diplomats and then uploading them to accessible and modern sources such as YouTube and Spotify creates an attractive opportunity for the youth to learn about the subjects discussed.
Share different perspectives
All diplomats have extremely unique experiences and therefore unique perspectives. All diplomats interpret certain information in a different way, which allows us to have diverse perspectives. The diplomats featured in the interviews all have different perspective, and I hope that the audience can learn from these perspectives.
About me
My name is Előd Pályi, and I am currently 17 years old. I was originally born in Budapest, Hungary, and I lived there until the age of five. At five years old, I moved to The Netherlands, which is the country where I live to this day. I am currently an IBDP student at the International School Groningen, where I mainly "specialize" in Global Politics, Economics, and English. Besides learning and conducting these interviews, I like to read and go to the gym.
I hope that I can share valuable knowledge with the rest of the world through the interviews which I conduct, so that people get inspired to become politically active themselves.
