Institute for Cultural Diplomacy

"Promoting Global Peace & Stability Through Strengthening Intercultural Relations"

I thought some of you might be interested in this organization. They are based in Berlin and are active in Europe-based public diplomacy efforts.

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.
