Due to globalization, the internet, rising education levels, and long-term democratization, citizen diplomacy (i.e., citizen communication and cooperation across national borders) is growing, and becoming a more important part of diplomacy and international affairs.

Citizen Diplomacy International gathers diplomacy scholars, students, practitioners, and observers every three months online via Zoom for 1.5 hours to share news and presentations on citizen diplomacy (CD) research and practice, local to global, with an eye to building a vibrant global CD sector for a more participatory, equitable and sustainable world.

Sign up to get email alerts about CDI meetings, and reports from those meetings.
