During the fall of 2024, we continued the exciting journey through diplomacy, offering 24 new students a unique chance to improve their diplomatic skills and knowledge of international affairs. They got to meet prominent foreign ambassadors in Copenhagen for rare one-on-one conversations, an opportunity to widen their network, and met like-minded people in settings where knowledge and interests in international affairs were at the front. We are humbled that so many talented and bright top students from Danish Universities chose to participate.
The CSCD Youth Academy Fall Semester 2024 was made possible with immense and highly valued support from all involved ambassadors and embassies, who generously and warmheartedly opened their doors for our top students. Their Excellencies the Ambassadors greeted our students and showed them the inside world of diplomacy, firsthand.
We are deeply grateful for the warm reception, and our students have reported back that they gained highly valued new knowledge. They had an experience that made a lasting impression and will stay with them on their path to their promising careers as the future Danish Diplomats, Policy Makers, and Stake Holders of Denmark.

Going forward, we will proceed the successful collaboration with the student organisations ID (the biggest student association @University of Copenhagen), POLIS (Political students’ organisation @Aalborg University), IBP (International Business and Politics @CBS) and ELSA (The European Law Students’ Association @Copenhagen). It is an honour to continue the fruitful and valuable work with such highly engaged and agenda-setting student organisations.
Further, we are currently in the process of making arrangements with several ambassadors for the upcoming spring semester, and we are continually humbled and deeply grateful that they so generously agree to open their doors for our talented students from Danish Universities. We look forward to reveal more as we approach the next semester.
