As our respond to the current global challenges within European regions and countries and worldwide caused by raising human and natural disasters, ACD-team have invested their academic thought, professional experiences and worldwide network to open space for regional and international cooperations, cross-sectoral partnerships and partnership activities which are initiated by actors from civilian sector who are actively engaged in the field of cultural diplomacy and beyond.
Our aim is to actively controbute to improvement of relations within diverse structures and within human world and nature. All ACD-action platforms are listed at the ACD webpage/HOME and briefly introduced.
Each field of action consist of the following activities and components in general: practical research, learning materials, productions, projects, educational sessions, media pages and other instruments and forms of practical and of promoting activities.
Each action platform is represented and supported by ACD- Ambassadors, team of experts and partners for the particular field.
In this regard, ACD embraces visions, missions and strategies for cooperation and for exchange of innovative practices within civil society, institutions and governments, which will contribute to Sustainable Development and achievement of the Global Goals (SDG´s) through their activities.
Cultural diplomacy requires variety of skills and competences, in particular familiarity with the art and science of presentation and representation of values in their specific geo-cultural, geo-political and within the universal context, so as presentation and exchange of practices in a multicultural environment with actors from various practical and theoretical fields.
The ACD activities are implemented and executed by the ACD-presiden.
To achieve a level of cooperation, ACD-team emphasizes complementarity rather than competition in positioning activities on ACD- priority agendas, fairly and equitably among existing actors, promote cultural diplomacy through own initiatives and will actively support other initiatives in the field following the objectives, guiding principles and goals of the
2005UNESCO convention on The protection and promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
