Academy for Cultural Diplomacy

The ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy is a department within the ICD that focuses on the research and promotion of cultural diplomacy. Academy programs are generally internationally focused and are open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. The Academy organizes two different types of program – Academy Sessions and international conferences.

Academy Sessions are weeklong programs that take place in Berlin throughout the year and offer individuals of all backgrounds and levels of experience the opportunity to learn more about the field of cultural diplomacy, take part in structured group discussions with speakers and other participants, and build up their personal networks.

The ICD organizes international conferences throughout the year, developed according to particular themes, which bring together larger groups of participants for lectures and seminars lead by renowned figures from politics and international relations. Recent international conferences include “The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy” (Berlin, 27th - 31st July, 2009) and “A World Without Walls” (Berlin, 6th - 9th November, 2009).
