Open to people

People-to-people diplomacy and humanitarian cooperation through participation, care and shared creativity.

People-to-people diplomacy is built through relationships among library readers, schoolchildren, students, volunteers, cultural professionals and civil society organisations. Shared activities make international cooperation tangible and personal.

Participation that matters

  • Accessible meetings for people with different abilities.

  • Supporting libraries and educational venues with books and learning materials.

  • Giving young creators space for communication and shared work.

  • Connecting international initiatives with the life of cities and regions.
