To engage with the organisation work on Shifting Focus To Intercultural Cities
Cities can be critical players for intercultural dialogue and cultural diplomacy. Against a backdrop of unprecedented human movements, as well as the impact of the refugee crisis on the region’s societies, future intercultural cities will be potential dialogue incubators and engines of social innovation. Investing in a comprehensive regional strategy for how to leverage the long- term role of cities will also contribute to a shift in intercultural dialogue work, embedding and interconnecting sustainable policies and practices at a local level. Such a strategy can be built on a two-fold approach: (i) Facilitating the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean network of local and regional authorities for the exchange of good practices related to diversity/integration management policies; and (ii) Supporting civil society for the promotion of intercultural action at the local level with a renewed attention to social entrepreneurship as an innovative mechanism for social participation. Valletta’s status as European Capital of Culture in 2018 is an opportunity to activate a far-reaching network of “Mediterranean” cities to act as champions for cultural diplomacy and intercultural dialogue.
