Sanskriti University partners with Germany’s Academy for Cultural Diplomacy

Sanskriti University has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin, Germany, for strengthening academic and cultural ties between the students of the two nations, the varsity said in a statement recently.

In a communique, the university stated that the number of students choosing to study internationally is constantly increasing, a trend that has encouraged the idea of forming international ties. Such partnerships also help students bag better job offers, it added.

Sachin Gupta, chancellor, Sanskriti University, said “The objective of the MoU is to promote the culture, ideas, history, art, and the system of values and tradition of the two countries. It is a two-way communications process that helps in promoting a nation’s image globally. Education and academic institutions are considered the backbone of cultural exchange. We are glad that we are becoming a part of this journey.”

The Academy for Cultural Diplomacy has been designed to provide an independent forum for interaction and exchange between groups and individuals from Berlin’s diverse communities including politicians, diplomats, cultural practitioners, academics, civil servants, and private sector representatives.

Rakesh Premi, pro-vice-chancellor, Sanskriti University, said, “This collaboration will deepen intercultural understanding of our students. Beyond facilitating communication, speaking the host country’s language gives access to beliefs, values, ways of thinking, and perceptions.”
