Why is intercultural dialogue so important?
Intercultural dialogue is of vital importance as a means of exchange, and as a source of renewed inspiration and creativity. A constructive dialogue and engagement with other cultures leads to common understanding, respect and tolerance. It helps people to view others through new eyes and, in turn, understand how they themselves are viewed by others. Ultimately, it helps people to live together in peace. This is one reason why Mondialogo is particularly aimed at the young, as they are making the decisions of today and for the future.
