The Diwan - Washington D.C.

This is the official page of The Diwan’s Washington D.C. chapter, where we connect rising leaders with global institutions, policy spaces, and impactful opportunities across the capital.

The Diwan - Washington D.C.

Based in the heart of the U.S. capital, The Diwan’s Washington D.C. chapter serves as our bridge to global policy, diplomacy, and international collaboration. Surrounded by embassies, think tanks, universities, and major international organizations, our chapter brings our community directly into the spaces where global decisions are shaped.

We organize high-level dialogues, embassy roundtables, leadership workshops, and community gatherings that connect young leaders with diplomats, policymakers, academics, and industry experts. Through these engagements, members gain access to mentorship and professional development opportunities.

The D.C. chapter also works closely with other university groups, regional organizations, and global institutions to build partnerships that expand opportunities for learning, networking, and impact. Whether through formal events, collaborative initiatives, or student-led projects, our goal is to empower the next generation of leaders to engage confidently on both regional and global stages.

“To get to where we want to go, we must do it together. And we must do it actively and positively engage in the spaces that matter. That's what Diwan is doing here today. We need to do it mindfully knowing that our creativity thrives on connectivity and ultimately sown the seeds for a world where silos naturally dissolve and where the light of possibility cultivates a harvest of new ideas, pathways, and a more prosperous and peaceful future for generations to come.”
