ACD- Ambassadors

ACD–Agency for Cultural Diplomacy president Tatjana Christelbauer have created Cultural Ambassadors Award in 2016 with the aim to honor professionals from various fields of arts, science, media, education, and international relations, who are actively contributing to the current global endeavors for sustainable development, to the improvement of intercultural relations through their engagement and are involved in activities of the civil society at the regional and/or international level with global impact.

ACD-Ambassador Award is a sign of honor for civilians whose achievements extend beyond those recognized by traditional awards for formal diplomatic activities.

The Award furthers ACD´s strategic goals to promote esteeming attitude and attentive relations to and within the social and natural environment. 

ACD-Ambassador Award is an action to build a global network of civilian actors in the field based on „people-to-people cultural exchange“  and dissemination of experiences, knowledge, and interests for Sustainable Development, Peace, and Safety, within all sectors.

In 2019 ACD-President have created ACD-Children&Youth Ambassador Award at the suggestion of the 11-years old Harumi Muruchi from Japan which will act as the first
