Internationalisation, interculturality and interreligiosity are buzzwords that have also been pervading the field of education for years. But what happens and what moves when they are realised within the framework of a transnational academic project? This volume provides multi-perspective insights into the IMPACCT (International Mobility with Partners Abroad for Culturally Competent Teachers) project from an organisational, student and teaching perspective. The experiences, topics and future prospects of internationalised teacher education are also addressed in a reflective manner. In its various contributions, the volume shows the opportunities, challenges and levels of international co-operation between study locations in Sweden, Austria, Germany, Turkey and Switzerland. Insights that encourage us to cross borders.

CID Poster 3: Intercultural Dialogue Definition Translated into Italian

CID PostersPoster 3 was designed by Linda J. de Wit, in her role as CID intern. The quote by Peter Praxmarer does not come from a publication, but from a Skype conversation we had on April 25, 2017. I was struck by what he said, and how nicely it summed up the concept of intercultural dialogue, and requested permission to turn the definition into a poster, and he graciously agreed. In terms of visual design, Linda indicated “art” by the picture frame, and “science” by the design in the background. Hopefully this definition will find a wide audience, because I think it does a better and more concise job of explaining intercultural dialogue than other definitions I’ve seen.

 

The Italian translation was provided by Maria Flora Mangano, and the graphic design work necessary to revise by Yan Qiu. Here then is CID Poster 3: Definizione di dialogo interculturale.
