Cultural affairs & Social Media
The Public Diplomacy Department promotes Israel’s vibrant culture and lifestyle in Romania.Every year we collaborate with numerous cultural institutions and leading Israeli artists to take part in a vast array of events in areas such as: theatre, cinema, music, literature, plastic arts and more.Through these collaboration, the Embassy celebrates the Israeli culture and encourages cultural dialogue between Israel and Romania.Israel is a culturally active country with a heterogeneous population. Four thousands of years and more than half a century of modern statehood, the Jewish heritage has contributed to a culture which has already created an identity of its own, while preserving the uniqueness of 70 different communities. A largely immigrant society, Israel’s creative expression has absorbed many different cultural and social influences, as it blends tradition and innovation and strives to steer a course between Israeli particularism and universalism. The Israeli cultural identity is presented creatively in a broad range of art forms, appreciated and enjoyed by many people around the world. The Embassy is very active on social media.
