Intercultural Dialogue- A path to peace

Submitted by Türkiye on Thu, 22/04/2021 - 12:52
Intercultural Dialogue

Vis-à-vis The Anna Lindh Report on Intercultural Trends, Head of Network of the ALF Turkey hosted the webinar titled “Intercultural Dialogue- A Path to Peace''.

The webinar was tailored to explicitly focus on how youth involvement and active participation in international mobility projects can further foster intercultural dialogue. The latter often seen, among other things, as a potential premise for a safe path to peace.

The webinar was interactive and the focus of the thematic was also substantiated by the living experiences of young participants.

The Webinar, held by Ms. Esmeralda Kashari, representative of System and Generation Association and backstopping member of the Anna Lindh Foundation, aimed at analyzing the concept of Intercultural Dialogue, and its fundamental role in preventing ethnic, religious, linguistic and cultural clashes that may lead to convoluted conflicts. During her analysis, Ms. Kashari explained in detail how, on the other hand, intercultural skills can enable communities to move forward together, to deal with different identities constructively and democratically on the basis of shared universal values.

Işık’s institutional structures uphold the commitment to being research-active in particular subject areas and to encouraging scholarship in all fields.

Aiming at obtaining financial support from multiple sources of income Işık University is also aware of the significance of rendering community service and convinced of its mutual benefits.

Main Projects / Activities

Işık University is aware of the significance of rendering community service. We are planning to establish a research center focusing on issues of local development in Şile. A group of faculty members have already started brainstorming activities with members of the Şile community to develop ideas. We offer a course titled ‘Community Involvement’ where the students learn about the theory and practice of community service and civic involvement through specific projects targeting the Şile community.
Currently we are cooperating with University of Granada and the Euro-Arab Foundation in Spain to develop a proposal to be submitted to Anna Lindh Foundation. We aim to investigate the mutual perceptions of young Muslims and non-Muslims in the Spanish society. The research aims to develop a multilevel action plan-national, regional, and local- to reduce as much as possible the stereotypes and preconceived notions about “the other” and construct platforms of mutual understanding and knowledge.
