Welcome

The International Symposia on Cultural Diplomacy is a 10-year project taking place from 2008-2017 and conducted by the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy in cooperation with global governance organizations, national governments, international corporations and leading academic institutions. The project is focused on the development and the promotion of the field of cultural diplomacy and its relations with the areas of international relations & economics, globalization, global governance, human rights, arts and culture.

Over the years the project has become the world’s largest event series in the field of cultural diplomacy. The Symposia included annual meetings, which held in the years 2008-2014 as well as over 200 events and youth programs, which led to the establishment of the first graduate and other academic programs in the field of cultural diplomacy and its recognition as an accredited academic field.
