Our Teaching Work:
Courses in Diplomatic Arts
(Current and Upcoming)
Clusters and Tailor-Made
Just as it has been for centuries, the world of diplomacy remains a staggeringly demanding place. Customarily, we expect its dwellers to display the brightest schooling, especially when they are to navigate through the ocean of cultures and mentalities.
Mastering the diplomatic profession (in any of its contemporary forms) will always be a journey towards perfection. François de Callières (1645-1717), one of the greatest diplomatists of the past, defined the final destination of this odyssey as becoming ‘the enlightened and assiduous negotiator‘.
To assist those who feel such a calling, the Kyiv School of Diplomatic Arts offers a number of its course clusters and tailor-made courses.
