## ABOUT SUMMER ACADEMY

**Are you interested in transforming the world through culture?**

Would you like to address global challenges from a cultural perspective, with a focus on community participation? Do you see today’s world as a closed system, with no clear options for transformation?

**We invite you to** **imagine alternative futures**.

**The first Summer School on Cultural and Public Diplomacy in Mexico**

**NACDI Summer School Academy 2025** is a unique and intensive training experience in critical cultural diplomacy. Its aim is to question how, why, and with what effects culture is used to foster international relations, while also seeking to understand and challenge the power structures involved in that process—drawing as well on public diplomacy and its communication tools. The program focuses on building bridges between communities through art, cultural management, communication, and international cooperation.  
We aim to train leaders with critical thinking and social commitment, capable of generating real and sustainable change in their communities and beyond.
