ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy

Based in Berlin, Germany, the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy (ACD) is an international nonprofit organization committed to advancing the theory and practice of cultural diplomacy and related fields. Our goal is to promote intercultural relations, global peace, and cooperation, while exploring innovative strategies to strengthen these areas. We focus on various academic disciplines, including intercultural relations, global governance, international politics, sustainable economies, and international law and human rights.

A significant aspect of our work is the establishment of the Center for Cultural Diplomacy Studies (CCDS), which serves as a leading institution for the study of cultural diplomacy. The CCDS offers a range of educational opportunities tailored to students and professionals interested in cultural diplomacy. These opportunities include week-long seminars for those seeking an introductory experience, as well as master's and doctoral programs designed for graduates pursuing careers in academia, diplomacy, government, and the private sector.

The CCDS Graduate Programs operate through a collaborative partnership between the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy and esteemed universities. These programs provide students from all over the world with unique educational pathways in disciplines such as International Politics, International Economics, Global Business, and other fields related to International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy.
