We envision a world that thrives because of true global engagement, where individuals and communities benefit from person-to-person interactions that result in greater understanding between people and cultures.
The Center for Citizen Diplomacy and its partners work to make that vision a reality every day.
Understanding Citizen Diplomacy
Why is citizen diplomacy important?
Citizen diplomacy is the concept that every global citizen has the right, even the responsibility, to engage across cultures and create shared understanding through meaningful person-to-person interactions. Citizen diplomacy is recognized as a powerful force in building and sustaining a secure, economically sound, and socially interconnected world.
Thought leaders from across the public, private, and social sectors see the value in citizen diplomacy.
