This poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit, was the first to illustrate one of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue as the source. The content here comes from KC79: Social Cohesion, written by Narine Nora Kerelian & Gizem Arat.
Maria Flora Mangano translated it into Italian, and Yan Qiu revised the graphic design to accommodate the translation. Here then is CID Poster 7: Giustizia sociale/armonia sociale.
Just in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:
Center for Intercultural Dialogue. (2026). Giustizia sociale/armonia sociale [M. F. Mangano, trans.]. CID Posters, 7. Available from: https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/cid-poster-7-social-justice-harmony-italian.png
As with other series, CID Posters are available for free on the site; just click on the thumbnail to download a printable PDF. They may be downloaded, printed, and shared as is, without changes, without cost, so long as there is acknowledgment of the source.
As with other series, if you wish to contribute an original contribution, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to provide that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.
