Intercultural Dialogue

The group has identified the need to understand interculturality not only as a cross-border issue but as one which arises within member states, organisations and across generations. It is exploring the requirements that this places on volunteers as they seek to understand the organisation and individuals with which they are engaging. The Group is reviewing definitions of Interculturality and will produce a glossary which reflects its findings. The Group is also trying to identify ULLL good practice which both facilitates and promotes intercultural dialogue – particularly in relation to migration and refugees.

The Group members are:

Małgorzata Kołodziejczyk (Group leader), W. J. Grabski Public Library (PL)
Katarina Košmrlj, University of Primorska (SI)
Sabine Remdisch, Leuphana University of Lüneburg (DE)
Emrah Yildirim, ILKYAR VAKFI (TR)

Platform for Intercultural Europe

The Platform for Intercultural Europe is a network that connects the work of grass-roots practitioners, associations, public bodies and European institutions, forming strong links from practice to policy and back again. In this way it aims to strengthen the work of and support for all those who work towards intercultural dialogue in Europe

WeReurope
http://www.wereurope.eu/project.html
WeReurope is a European Union- funded (Grundtvig) project consortium jointly developing, testing and evaluating a model of "Intercultural Dialogue Conferences" (ICD) as a branded tool, which helps to create pathways for adult learners to improve their knowledge about the EU and their intercultural and key competencies via Adult Education Agencies. A learner-centred approach and the use of art and culture as intermediaries provide a rich methodology to motivate learners' activities, to raise their self-confidence and support creative expression, communication and intercultural exchange. A summary of the project is available in a number of languages.
