PATRON ANNOUNCEMENT AYD 2024/2025

Proud to Announce the 21st Edition of the Academy of Young Diplomats

We are delighted to announce the successful inauguration of the 21st edition of the Academy of Young Diplomats (AYD), which took place on January 10, 2025. This milestone marks yet another chapter in our commitment to fostering the next generation of global leaders, diplomats, and changemakers.

This year’s program is particularly significant as we proudly honor General Kazimierz Pułaski as our patron. General Pułaski, known as the “Father of the American Cavalry,” is a hero of both Poland and the United States. He fought for freedom during the Konfederacja barska; 1768–1772, an association formed to defend the sovereignty of the Republic of Poland in Poland and he later joined the American Revolutionary War, leaving an enduring legacy of courage and leadership. His life and values continue to inspire aspiring leaders across the globe.

This announcement also coincides with a special milestone for our partner organization, the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, which celebrates its 20th anniversary. Founded by our co-founder Zbigniew Pisarski, the Foundation has been a driving force in promoting international dialogue and transatlantic cooperation.

We are excited to welcome this year’s cohort and look forward to a successful year of learning, growth, and collaboration.

Here’s to an inspiring year ahead!
