The Coalition for Citizen Diplomacy

The Coalition for Citizen Diplomacy is a group of national leaders representing organizations such as Sister Cities International, The Fulbright Program, Councils of World Affairs, the National Council for International Visitors, People to People Organization and other representatives from sectors including non-profit, business, and academic communities who share a common purpose in promoting positive and sustainable engagement of Americans in a wide range of international initiatives. The goal of the Coalition is to raise awareness of the citizen diplomacy movement, to examine its critical role in advancing U.S. foreign relations and promoting world peace and understanding, and to increase international activism at the grassroots level. To meet this goal, the Coalition is encouraging organizations across the country to hold local Summits on Citizen Diplomacy.
