In today’s world, over 250 million people live outside their country of birth. The Internet facilitates engaging with Diasporas who, now more than ever, are keen to be connected to their home nation.
Governments and organisations that embrace their ‘Diaspora Capital’ can leverage the power of flows of people, knowledge and finance, turning ‘Brain Drain’ into ‘Brain Gain’ and ‘Brain Exchange’.
The Diaspora Engagement Course outlines what makes Diaspora Engagement so powerful and contemporary. It identifies the key factors for success in engaging your Diaspora and outlines strategies for doing so.
