PUBLIC DIPLOMACY AND YOU!

Who - ME?
There are many efforts to support Cambodians that support a variety of diplomatic goals.  The notion of  "Multi-Track Diplomacy" asserts that there are many ways governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals can all participate in diplomatic relationships. (ConflictResearch.Org). When organizations and citizens work outside of official governmental diplomatic offices, it is sometimes called, "Public Diplomacy." 

Our Doors to Diplomacy project centers upon opening the doors to individuals by promoting individual action or what is called Public Diplomacy. Here are several great campaigns to support Human Rights, Peace and Justice in Cambodia that YOU can use to unlock the doors to diplomacy.


As we say in Minnesota, ya-sure-you-betcha --- YOU can join a great group! Here are some we thought were interesting:
