ASIAN ACADEMY OF CULTURE (AAC)

Asian Academy of Culture is an academy comprised of scholars dedicated to the study of Asian culture, established by International Cultural Foundation (ICF).

AAC recognizes the importance of cultural diversity in Asia and strives to protect and promote it. Based on the belief that culture is best understood through communication rather than unilateral introduction, AAC creates valuable opportunities for scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds in Asia to share their perspectives and experiences.

AAC engages in various activities, including research, education, advocacy, capacity building, and cross-cultural connections, to protect and promote cultural diversity.

We believe that viewing Asian culture from an Asian perspective allows for a more accurate understanding of its richness. AAC approaches the cultural heritage of the region with respect for its authenticity and depth.

Through these activities, AAC believes that the diversity of Asian cultures fosters creativity, understanding, and the preservation of human history and heritage, and we are dedicated to creating a world where mutual understanding and respect can flourish.
