About Me   About Me
Founded in 1999, The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) is an international, not-for profit, non-governmental organization with headquarters in Berlin, Germany. Over the past decade the ICD has grown to become one of Europe’s largest independent cultural exchange organizations. Our programs facilitate interaction between individuals of all cultural, academic, and professional backgrounds, from across the world.

The ICD´s Goal:

The ICD was established to promote global peace and stability through strengthening and supporting intercultural relations at all levels.

The ICD´s Philosophy:

The ICD understands that in an increasingly globalized world in which people are able to travel and exchange information faster than ever before, there is a growing interdependency between nations. As a result, constructive intercultural interaction is the fundamental requirement for global peace and stability in the 21st century.

“This philosophy is the foundation of our activity and we take as our motivation the countless examples throughout the world of peaceful and constructive interaction between different cultures”

The ICD´s Activity:

The ICD conducts activity to facilitate intercultural exchange, undertakes research into the theory and practice of the field of cultural diplomacy, and works to support the existing organizations and institutions active in the area - both governmental and nongovernmental.

The facilitation of cultural exchange helps to create constructive, sustainable relationships based on dialogue, understanding, and trust and therefore reduces the likelihood of socio-cultural, political, and military conflicts.

The ICD conducts and supports interdisciplinary research into the field of cultural diplomacy and promotes this to a diverse international audience. This research raises awareness and understanding of the history and development of the field, and also highlights the range of different actors conducting cultural diplomacy and their various approaches.
