Graduation Ceremony of AYD 2024/2025

We are thrilled to share glimpses from this year’s Academy of Young Diplomats graduation ceremony, held during the Warsaw Security Forum!

The event featured an inspiring keynote address by H.E. Toomas Hendrik Ilves (President of Estonia, 2006-2016), moderated by Ambassador Urszula Gacek. Their engaging conversation set the tone for an evening of reflection, celebration, and new beginnings.

Prof. Katarzyna Pisarska offered closing remarks, highlighting the journey and accomplishments of this year’s exceptional cohort of emerging leaders. Graduates proudly received their diplomas, marking the culmination of a year dedicated to learning, networking, and international dialogue.

The evening concluded with the AYD Alumni of the Year Award, presented by Zbigniew Pisarski, honoring Ms. Claudia Zygmunt for her outstanding achievements and continued on the international stage.

Congratulations to all our graduates!
