HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE
The main idea behind Late Night Diplomacy is to provide an insightful look behind the curtain of diplomatic affairs. Therefore, we do our best to simulate the actual political atmosphere via team assignments set up in a palace. Feels like real diplomacy, isn't it?
AGENDA
We have chosen the most up-to-date topics from the world of international relations. Each session is uniquely tailored to current affairs, and contains a theoretical basis and an interactive assignment that will make you experience what policymaking feels like.

DIPLOMACY AS A GAME
Late Night Diplomacy is more than just an ordinary conference. Each of the 12 sessions is tailored with a combination of both formal and informal educational methods. Such a technique enables effective learning, where you not only receive a theoretical piece of information in the first part but you get an opportunity to implement it in the second part of each session. This combination allows you to master their expertise in International Affairs and experience dealing with real or fictional political events.

OUR VENUE
The Best For The Best.
For our conferences we have chosen a very special place — Kaiserštejn Palace, located in a Baroque-style building in Malá Strana. It was built in its current form in 1714 by joining two Renaissance houses. The palace consists of two buildings connected by small side wings forming a smaller courtyard. Designed by Giovanni Battista Alliprandi, the construction was carried out by the workshop of Christopher Dientzenhofer .
In the 1840s the building was acquired by the Czech Savings Bank, which in 1845 designed the first-floor festival hall in the style of late classicism. Later, in 1977 a vast restoration was launched, restoring its original Baroque appearance.
The first owner was the military commander of Prague, František Helfrýd, a free lord from Kaiserstein. In the following years, the palace changed several owners. The Radecký family from Radče was among them. A monument to Marshal Radecký, considered one of the best military leaders of the 19th century, was unveiled in Malostranské náměstí in 1859. At that time, the square also bore his name.
The palace from Radecký was acquired by hotelier Václav Petzold, who set up a restaurant here. The palace was called "U Petzoldů" for another hundred years. Petzold's wife, opera singer Marie Sittová, became the first representative of Smetana's The Bartered Bride. Later between the years 1908–1911, a famous Czech opera star, Ema Destinnová, lived here.
Today, the hall of Late Night Diplomacy conferences holds her name.
