The International Delphic Council (IDC) is a voluntary, not-for-profit, nonpolitical, nonreligious global organization that works to foster harmony amongst people through engagements in the various Arts forms and the Cultural identities that manifest them, through the Delphic Games. The ancient history of the Delphic Games traces its roots back to Delphi in Greece 2500 years ago as the twin-sister of the Olympic Games. The Delphic Games are to Arts & Cultures what Olympic Games are to physical sports.

   

While the Delphic Games of the Modern Era were revived in 1994, the Olympic Games were revived in 1894. Since revival, the Delphic Games have been hosted in Georgia, Russia, Malaysia, South Korea, Philippines, Germany and South Africa while Delphic Summits, Delphic Art Wall initiatives and other festivals of cultural significance have been organised elsewhere in the world. International Institutions like UNESCO, Council of Europe, ASEAN and such, have endorsed the various editions of the Delphic Games at various times. World leaders including their Excellencies Nelson Mandela (South Africa), Mikhail Gorbachev (erstwhile USSR), Helmut Kohl (Germany), Eduard Shevardnadze (Georgia) as well as Celebrated Musicians, Painters, Academicians, Pedagogues, Historians, Arts & Culture revivalists and the like, have supported the Delphic Games and what they stand for.

India has participated in 3 editions of the Delphic Games in various Countries and even won Gold and Silver medals in South Korea earlier. Mr. Bijender Goel plans to take this movement to every Artist, Art Lover, various Stakeholders and Government Bodies in India by promoting all the Arts Categories including but not limited to Musical Arts, Performing arts, visual arts, Literature, Social Arts, Communications, Ecological Arts and Architecture and ist sub-categories.
