Based On The Responses Of 52 Indonesian Arts And Culture Scholarship (IACS) Alumni, We Received And Coded 292 Citations And Produced 10 Themes Re- Lated To Cultural Diplomacy In The IACS. Out Of The 10 Themes, We Further Set 10 Cultural Diplomacy Goals, Out Of Which 6 Are Aligned With The Goals For Cultural Diplomacy Set By An Expert. However, We Found Four New Interesting Objectives That Can Benefit The Country If Used To Their Full Potential. It Is Incredible To Know That Pure Arts And Cultural Activities Can Produce Various Feelings That Indicate The Possibility Of Soft Power. DOI: 10.59762/cli901324531220231205132644
