WHO WE ARE

IDA-Education, International Diplomatic Academy, provides an academically exciting and personally rewarding environment for those wishing to empower their knowledge and expertise in the multifaceted dimensions of the international relations.
In a rapidly changing and globalised world a group of renowned experts and academics in the domain of International Law, Economics and Political Science decided to create a centre of excellence aiming at creating a value added to university curricula. This centre shall, compatibly with college and university courses, equip students with world-class learning and abroad intensive study programmes, favouring cultural and intellectual exchange and developing an effective job market-oriented attitude.
This commitment to excellence has been a very key ingredient in the establishment of IDA-Education and in the design and conceptualization of its academic offer.

SOCIAL IMPACT AND UNAI MEMBERSHIP

IDA-Education is a proud member of the United Nations Academic Impact.
Academic Impact is a global initiative that aligns institutions of higher education with the United Nations in actively supporting ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, literacy, sustainability and conflict’s resolution. The Academic Impact also asks each participating higher education institution to actively demonstrate support of at least one of those principles each year.
The critical role of higher education in economic and social development as well as foundation for world peace is widely acknowledged. Only lacking is the resolve and action of academic leaders around the world. By formally endorsing the ten principles in the Academic Impact, institutions make a commitment to use education as an engine for addressing global problems.

Academic Impact is informed by a commitment to support and advance ten basic principles:

1) A commitment to the principles inherent in the United Nations Charter as values that education seeks to promote and help fulfil; 

2) A commitment to human rights, among them freedom of inquiry, opinion, and speech; 

3) A commitment to educational opportunity for all people regardless of gender, race, religion or ethnicity; 

4) A commitment to the opportunity for every interested individual to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for the pursuit of higher education; 

5) A commitment to building capacity in higher education systems across the world; 

6) A commitment to encouraging global citizenship through education; 

7) A commitment to advancing peace and conflict’s resolution through 
education; 

8) A commitment to addressing issues of poverty through education; 

9) A commitment to promoting sustainability through education; 

10) A commitment to promoting inter-cultural dialogue and understanding, and the “unlearning” of intolerance, through education.
