Hey Fiola,

Honestly, the best way to gain real-world experience in diplomacy is to actually step into the world. Don't just wait for big opportunities -start small. Talk to people from different cultures, join events, volunteer, or even travel if you can. Real diplomacy starts with understanding people and learning how to communicate calmly and respectfully, even when opinions clash.
You'll learn more from real conversations and situations than from any textbook. Try to get involved in anything that connects people -social causes, student projects, or online global communities. Every small experience teaches you how the world works and how people think.
And remember, diplomacy isn't just a job - it's a mindset. Stay observant, listen more than you speak, and always stay grounded. That's where the real growth begins. 🌍
