Mission and Objectives

The programs of the institute for cultural diplomacy are designed to educate, enhance and sustain relationships based on dialogue, understanding and trust between cultures and countries around the world. The institute for cultural diplomacy's philosophy is that in order to have a stable relationship between two or more people, cultures or countries three components are essential: dialogue, understanding, and trust. Only when these three elements are fused together is it possible to have true cooperation in the economic, political or social sense. It is precisely these three elements which unfortunately are most often missing from the global arena of international relations in the twenty-first century. The mission of icd is to tackle these tough issues of human interaction that so often seem incompatible and exclusionary.
