For reference::

In 2025, the 4th edition of Architecture of Diplomacy was held on an international scale for the first time as GlavUpDK received over 300 projects from young artists (under 35 years old) from 14 countries.

For the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Diplomacy Through the Ages was in focus of creative exploration inspiring young people from all over the world to create artworks about the history, present, and future of diplomacy. Participants presented their own perspectives on foreign policy agencies, key historical events, and outstanding diplomats from different eras.

Everyone interested in inter-ethnic relations also enjoyed the Architecture of Diplomacy Knowledge Marathon, a series of educational online sessions organized in partnership with the Diplomatic Academy under the MFA of Russia.
