The Office of Count Jonathan of Aquitaine has officially launched the Centre for Education and Diplomacy in Avignon, France, a nonprofit initiative aimed at fostering education, intercultural dialogue, and humanitarian diplomacy worldwide. This move signifies the Republic of Aquitaine’s dedication to its sovereignty and its active participation in global civil society, rooted in the declaratory theory of statehood and authenticated under the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.
Count Jonathan of Aquitaine emphasized the Centre’s role in bridging nations and communities through education and diplomacy, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Centre’s mission is structured around three pillars: Educational Advancement, Diplomatic Engagement, and Humanitarian Service, each designed to contribute to global understanding and peace.
Located in Avignon, a city with a rich history of international diplomacy, the Centre aims to leverage its historical and cultural significance to foster global dialogue. The initiative is self-funded, ensuring its independence and impartiality in international engagements. Plans are underway to collaborate with universities, think tanks, and NGOs, with a focus on partnerships with UN agencies and other international institutions.
The Centre’s inaugural programs include an International Lecture Series, a Heritage and Sovereignty Publication Initiative, and a Youth Ambassadors Program, all set to launch in late 2025. These initiatives reflect the Republic of Aquitaine’s vision to be a principled and sovereign voice in global civil society, continuing its legacy of education, diplomacy, and humanitarian service since its reestablishment in 2006.
