Introduction

The Academy for Cultural Diplomacy Internship Project (2020-25) is a 5-year program with the main purpose to enable students who need an internship as a compulsory part of their BA, MA or other graduate studies to engage in cultural diplomacy and in doing so, to further promote cultural diplomacy and multiculturalism worldwide.

The positioning of the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy in the centre of Europe, made it a natural hub for the younger generation and indeed, the past years projects have been witnessed to interns being active participants in the multicultural field, where lasting friendships were formed and valuable contacts made, which immediately expanded each individual’s network to all parts of the world.

The diverse multicultural environment provides an excellent framework for Cultural Diplomacy to be practiced on a daily basis within the office as well as outside of the office. One of the main privileges affords by the project is to work in a young, interdisciplinary and international environment, which serves as a model of successful multiculturalism in practice. The experience of learning to work together in a multicultural and international organizational environment is a rare, unique and a rewarding common experience.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for full-time internships. The internships are full time and last 2 months or longer. The ICD Academy provides interns with monthly Scholarship for the duration of their internship of 500 Euro per month.
