Happy New Year 2024 from the Center for Intercultural Dialogue. This mandarin duck is from China, but was seen in France, which makes it not only beautiful but an appropriate metaphor for the wide ranging travels of many members of the Center.

Wherever you’re from
Wherever you are
Wherever you’re going
May it be a good year
For you
And for all of us
Thank you to all those who have supported CID over the past year, and over the past 14 years. Our work would not be possible without the considerable contributions of scholars and practitioners around the world. See the acknowledgments for specific names, but you know who you are. Your time and effort are much appreciated.

Thank you for this lovely message, Wendy and Casey, and many thanks for your amazing work with CID! I look forward to opening and reading every new post I get from CID (which considering today’s total digital overload is an amazing feat!). This is one of the very few platforms which in my opinion consistently adds value. It’s also an absolute pleasure to interact and engage with you when sharing new information. With much gratitude and good wishes for you both and all the people acknowledged here for their contributions, Eithne
Thanks for the kind words, Eithne!
