Under the motto Linking Arts and Cultures, Christian Kirsch had hosted the founding meeting of the International Delphic Council at Schönhausen Palace in Berlin on 15 December 1994. 57 people from 20 countries on five continents took part in the founding meeting. The aim of the movement is to build bridges for peaceful dialogue through culture.
Since the founding of the IDC seven Delphic Games took place all over the world.
