CULTURAL DIPLOMACY
Culture is who we are, and what shapes our identity. Placing culture at the heart of development policies is the only way to ensure a human-centred diplomacy.

International Cultural Heritage Conventions
The Institute analyzes the norms of international cultural heritage conventions and operational guidelines to identify the rights, obligations, status and roles of non-state actors
The World Heritage Convention
The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage

Addressing under-representation and active participation in culture
There are several relevant and established areas of underrepresentation and inequality within culture. Some have been the subject of targeted interventions for many years with disappointingly limited effects. At the Institute, we want to establish effective interventions that address them and are testing new innovative approaches in order to assess which are most effective. We will embed learning and good practice from this work across the public diplomacy discipline. Our members are piloting new approaches and launching calls that put inequalities and under-representation at the forefront.
01
Fixing the system
The system needs fixing and not just to include particular groups or to provide opportunities to a select few, but to provide the opportunity for everyone to participate in cultural diplomacy, and to develop their skills and contribute their ideas.

Taking the next steps
To ensure the inclusion we need to succeed, we create opportunities for people to contribute to our actions and policy development.
We welcome feedback on what we are doing and ideas about how we can work together to achieve our vision of cultural diplomacy, where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and to benefit. You can reach us at: info@institut.uk

Fashion diplomacy beyond formal occasions
The clothes we wear can have a significant impact on how we are perceived by others, and this extends to cultural diplomacy as well. Fashion diplomacy is the use of clothing and personal style to convey a message or represent a country’s culture and values. It goes beyond simply wearing traditional attire or national symbols; it is about using fashion as a tool for communication and connection. Fashion diplomacy has the potential to shape global perceptions in ways we may not even realize. Fashion diplomacy is not limited to formal occasions; it can also be seen in everyday interactions between nations.
