UNESCO: Intercultural Dialogue for Conflict Transformation (France but Online)

Events

Intercultural Dialogue for Conflict Transformation Briefs Series, UNESCO, Paris, France, 1 April 2025, 3-4:30 pm (Online).

In an era where geopolitical power struggles disrupt traditional peacebuilding, where identity and misinformation fuel divisions, and where trust in institutions is eroding, UNESCO’s Intercultural Dialogue for Conflict Transformation briefs series presents an adaptable, culturally grounded, and people-centered approach to peacebuilding. With 89% of conflicts worldwide occurring in countries with limited capacity for intercultural dialogue, this series takes an essential first step in examining dialogue as a powerful practice for preventing conflict, fostering reconciliation, reimagining transitional justice, and strengthening social cohesion.

Through actionable recommendations, each brief in this series provides practitioners, policymakers, and civil society with the essential guidance needed to tailor and embed intercultural dialogue in their respective contexts, thereby making peace processes more inclusive, locally led, and sustainable.

Join for an engaging 90-minute online event, where keynote speakers and expert panelists-including the authors of the briefs-will unpack key recommendations and engage in an insightful conversation on how dialogue can foster a more peaceful, cohesive, and just world.
