Since its inception, the Diplomatic Institute has been striving through its public appearances to bring young people to the multi-layered and diverse world of international relations and to promote the diplomatic profession by presenting its various dimensions and subtleties.
For this purpose, the institute partners with youth and student organizations and organizes various youth programs, initiatives and practical seminars.

Year-round opportunity for learning practice and gaining practical experience
Partnership with the UN Society for the Selection of Youth Delegates

The "Open Doors" program is aimed at Bulgarian and foreign students and academic communities. The institute "opens" its doors to them, as household visits, to which it presents its activities and the activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the essence of the diplomatic profession, the role of the diplomatic service, as well as the opportunities for career development in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Current topics and practical issues in the field of international relations and Bulgarian foreign policy are also discussed.
The "Internship at the Diplomatic Institute" program offers a year-round opportunity to conduct educational practice for students from both Bulgarian and foreign universities.
The internship program aims to help them gain practical experience, as well as to get acquainted with the nature of the work at the diplomatic institute and to orient themselves in the choice of their professional realization.
The Diplomatic Institute is a long-term partner of the "Bulgarian Youth Delegates to the United Nations" program, conducted by the United Nations Society, and traditionally participates with its representative in the final round for the selection of youth delegates.
Together with partners, the institute also organizes national essay competitions on current European, regional and global issues, which aim to actively engage young people in foreign policy processes in the country and abroad.
