Cultural Diplomacy

The Vision

The establishment of the Hellenic Institute of Cultural Diplomacy was dictated by the need to reconstitute the Greek Cultural diversity and to redefine ourselves in the world with no longer in terms of reproduction, but of creation. The main concern of the Institute is the promotion of the cultural values, of cooperation and the creation of mutual trust with the ultimate goal of establishing emotionally close relations with foreign peoples, which will exist beyond the changes of governments. The H.I.C.D wishes to play a significant role in the intellectual life of our country by contributing to the upgrading of the country’s image abroad, to the empowerment of young talented artists and to the creation of a cultural background capable of pushing the Greek citizen to feel the obligations he owes not only to himself but also to the society in which he lives. And we serve this request.

The Hellenic Institute of Cultural Diplomacy, (H.I.C.D.) is a scientific non-governmental organisation, founded in Athens on 25th of March 2017 and is the only proponent of Cultural Diplomacy in Greece. Working closely with private and public governmental bodies, academic and scientific organisations both at home and around the world, the Institute has branches in different Greek cities and abroad. Each branch is responsible for the development and delivery of a range of cultural activities, under the guidance of the Athens headquarters. By engaging in research and developing the different fields of Cultural Diplomacy, the H.I.C.D aims to build bridges of trust and cooperation and foster dialogue between different cultures. This contributes to strengthen regional and multilateral diplomatic bonds, improves relations between nations and communicates universal values and principles that only culture can convey.
