Simona-Mirela Miculescu has been serving as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Delegate of Romania to UNESCO since January 2021, after holding the position of Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the UN Office in Belgrade, between 2015 and 2020. Prior to this, she was the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of Romania to the United Nations, between 2008 and 2015. During her term in New York, amb. Miculescu held several positions including: Vice-President of the UNICEF Executive Board, Vice-President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Vice-President of the Bureau of the Francophonie, Chair of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee of the General Assembly during its 66th Session, Vice-President of the UN General Assembly for its 68th Session, and Chair of the 53rd Session of the UN Commission for Social Development. Amb. Miculescu’s 30 years of diplomatic career include the positions of Spokesperson for the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Senior Media Advisor to the Minister (1993 and 1999), Director of the Press Department within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1994 and 2008), Press Secretary of the Romanian Embassy in Washington D.C. (1994-1998), or Senior Public Information Officer at the Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Kosovo (1999-2000). Between 2000 and 2004, she served as Foreign Policy Adviser to the President of Romania (with rank of minister), becoming eventually the first woman in the Romanian diplomatic history to be granted the rank of Ambassador. Between 2006 and 2007, she acted as Senior Advisor for Public Outreach to the Government of Iraq, within a USAID-funded project. Amb. Miculescu holds the titles of Doctor Honoris Causa Beneficiorum Publicorum of the Western University in Timișoara, as well as the title of Doctor Magna Cum Laudae of the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. This is due to the fact that, in parallel with her diplomatic career, she has developed a rich academic and public communication experience, that includes teaching international public relations courses at two universities in Romania, as well as publishing several books and articles on related topics. In her country, she is recognized also as one of the best experts in the field of international public relations management, being appreciated especially due to the elaboration of the first university curriculum on this subject, a study program currently used by several universities. Amb. Simona-Mirela Miculescu is married and has two adult children.

Returning the Gaze: Decolonizing Dracula
Dr. Cristina Artenie General Manager, College National De Science et Technologie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada		Dr. Cristina Artenie General Manager, College National De Science et Technologie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada 6:00am PST 9:00am EST: 2:00pm UK 4:00pm RO Conference Description: In this conference, I will be looking at how the West disfigured Romanian/ East-Central European history and culture in the nineteenth-century. The colonizer's gaze is one that disfigures everything he/she sees: people, places, culture, traditions, food, etc. Confronting the sources of Stoker's Dracula and the literary fans of the novel with real information about the area and the people, including Vlad the Impaler, will reveal how the self-perceived superiority of the West is a construct that continues to exist and make victims over and over again. Standing up to Othering is a must in the age of anti-colonialism and anti-racism. Setting the record straight has never been timelier.

Facing the Global Challenges of Our Time
Mr. Guy Djoken President UNESCO Center for Peace/ President and CEO USFUCA, United States: Maryland		Mr. Guy Djoken President UNESCO Center for Peace/ President and CEO USFUCA, United States: Maryland 11am PST 2pm EST 7pm UK 9pm RO Conference Description Covid-19 tragedy, the lessons learned after a year of confinement and social distancing. The response in the international community, the vaccine and looking forward. UNESCO Center for Peace was founded in Frederick, Maryland to help promote the understanding of UNESCO’s mission and ideals and to translate them into programs that will help raise a new generation of Peacemakers, placing Human Dignity at the center of their activities and striving to make the culture of peace a commodity of everyday life through Education, Science, Culture and Communication. Working with Americans for UNESCO and other regional institutions, within a year, the Center became a cultural anchor for the region, celebrating community diversity, contributing to current issues and events, engaging policy makers, and working with all stakeholders to further understanding of peace, acceptance and tolerance in the region. At the same time, a successful outreach was made towards the worldwide UNESCO Clubs movement in the world.
