Diplosphere is a non-partisan organisation based in Aotearoa New Zealand with the mission to promote independent thinking and diplomacy. We provide a forum on international affairs through critical analyses, and private and public events. Our mission is to stimulate curiosity in world affairs for people of all stripes and bring perspectives, so that we may be better informed and make better decisions. We truly believe that no issue is black and white. Therefore we examine current international issues through several lenses. We work hard to break the consensus, bring unheard voices to the fore and ask the tough questions. We focus on real discussions, less monologues and propaganda. We are NOT government-funded, and pride ourselves to be truly independent. We operate through ticket sales, sponsorships and memberships. Diplosphere has been recognised by UNESCO for contribution to sharing ideas and building capability for a better and more peaceful future.
