In recognition of their academic achievements, graduates of the latest edition of the Academy of Young Diplomats (AYD) who graduated the programme with the Diploma with honors took part in the World Forum for Democracy, organised by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, on 2–3 November.

During the event, participants attended sessions, debates and meetings dedicated to the challenges facing democratic institutions and the protection of human rights in Europe. They also took part in a study visit to the European Court of Human Rights.

One of the highlights of the programme was the opportunity to meet and engage directly with experts, exchange perspectives and ask questions on democracy, international law and human rights.

There was also time for networking, sharing experiences and reflecting on the activities and discussions.

We are proud of our AYD graduates’ achievements and delighted to provide them with opportunities to put their academic knowledge into practice through valuable real-world experiences!
