SUMMARY:Passport to Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Passport to Diplomacy is an exciting annual celebration of international engagement\, cultural exchange\, and citizen diplomacy that showcases San Diego's unique role as one of America's most globally connected regions. \nThis collaborative event brings together the San Diego World Affairs Council (SDWAC)\, the San Diego Diplomacy Council (SDDC)\, and the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages to create an immersive afternoon of discovery\, dialogue\, and global connection in the heart of Balboa Park. \nA signature feature of the event is the Passport Program\, a longtime San Diego World Affairs Council tradition that encourages attendees to experience the rich cultural diversity represented by the International Cottages. Upon checking in\, all pre-registered participants receive an official event passport. Throughout the event\, guests are invited to explore the participating cottages\, meet cultural ambassadors\, learn about countries from around the world\, and collect a unique passport stamp from each participating nation. \nVisitors who complete their passport by collecting stamps from every participating cottage may submit it for entry into an opportunity drawing for a $500 airfare gift card\, generously sponsored by Bright Light Volunteers International. \nIn addition to the Passport Program\, attendees can enjoy: \n\nInteractive exhibits hosted by the International Cottages and globally focused organizations\n"Chat with a Diplomat" stations\, offering informal conversations with diplomats and foreign affairs professionals about diplomacy\, international careers\, and global issues\nLive cultural performances celebrating music\, dance\, and traditions from around the world\nEducational displays from universities\, nonprofits\, exchange organizations\, and international partners\nFamily-friendly activities designed to engage visitors of all ages\nNetworking opportunities with internationally minded professionals\, educators\, students\, and community leaders\n\nMore than a cultural festival\, Passport to Diplomacy celebrates San Diego's extraordinary international character and demonstrates how diplomacy extends beyond governments. Through conversation\, cultural exchange\, education\, and shared experiences\, the event encourages every attendee to become a citizen diplomat and contribute to a more peaceful\, connected\, and globally engaged community. \nThanks to our sponsors:  \nBright Light Volunteers' mission is to make the world a brighter place by providing educational service opportunities that cultivate compassionate global citizens\, ethical leaders\, and lifelong changemakers. Their generous sponsorship reinforces the shared belief that meaningful international experiences build understanding\, strengthen communities\, and inspire service. \nParticipation in Passport to Diplomacy is free\, but advance registration is required. \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							Save My Spot
