On 23 April, students of the Junior Diplomatic Academy visited the painting exhibition “EARTH” by Oleksii Potapenko, which opened at the Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine to mark World Earth Day.

During the tour, participants viewed the artist’s works and joined a discussion on the role of art as a tool of public diplomacy. Project curator Lesia Kocherhina emphasized the importance of culture in shaping Ukraine’s image in the world.

The event provided an opportunity to explore the concept of “Earth” as a cultural, historical, and value-based category, as well as to deepen understanding of the role of culture in diplomatic activities.
