Everybody recognizes that intercultural dialogue is an important goal for European society! But why? Because intercultural dialogue (ICD) supports sustainable development! Think about it! Through the open and respectful exchange of views between people and groups of different cultures, we can re-invent more creative ways to live and develop together in well-being. What we need is your involvement!
If you are a local actor or a policy maker; if you work in a municipality or a public authority, or you represent a local cultural organization, a library, a museum, or an NGO then this project is for you! TOGETHER offers you a comprehensive set of 4 educational products, the so-called intellectual outputs (IOs) which help you to become an “ambassador” of intercultural dialogue. Here are the first two of them:
IO1: The Comparative Analysis Report.
It presents the current state of awareness and development of intercultural dialogue in the project's 5 partner countries—Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Italy and Lebanon. It provides insights into how ICD is understood, shaped and reflected both in policy and in practice, identifies the needs of local actors involved in ICD, and outlines examples of best practice in each country.
IO2: The Ambassadors Curriculum
The Ambassadors Curriculum is the core output of the project and describes the educational process i.e. the series of actions and steps that the end user will follow in order to meet the educational scope of the project.
