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 Lueneburg (DE)
Emrah Yildirim, ILKYAR VAKFI (TR)
