In a era where, we are not ready to be tired to say it, the information moves with the speed
of the electronic pulses and in insignificant small time units we cover, geographically and
content wise, areas larger and larger, the cultural dialogue gains more importance in the everyday
orientation. I am Romanian and I live in Paris. I have a Francophile and francophone education
but in many aspects I am different from the French. So for both parties, everyday there is
a cultural dialogue leading to an adjustment of discourses, of working tools of the rhythm
of work. I live in a neighbourhood with a majority of African population. Hence another cultural
dialogue and another adjustment to a different rhythm.
Intr’o epoca in care, nu obosim sa o repetam, informatia circula cu viteza impulsurilor electronice si acoperim in unitati de timp incredibil de mici, geografic si in substanta, teritorii din ce in ce mai indepartate, interactiunea culturala castiga din ce in ce mai multa importanta in orientarea de toate zilele. Sunt romanaca si locuiesc la Paris.Educatia mea a fost una francofona si francofila dar in multe aspecte esentiale se deosebeste de ceea a francezilor. Asadar de ambele parti, in fiecare zi exista o interactiune culturala ce conduce la o adaptare a discursului, a ustensilelor de lucru, a ritmului de lucur. Locuiesc intr-un cartier cu o populatie majoritar africana. Iata o noua interactiune culturala si o noua adaptare la un ritm diferit.

In dialogue we live. When we decide consciously how we desire to live our relationship to
dialogue is determined. Openness, invitation, inquiry are the pieces we easily name. But sincerely
the test is in the times of difficulty. . . when our identities and convictions are contested,
when we are afraid, insecure, uncertain, challenged. At that point intercultural dialogue
means being prepared and willing to 'rewire' our thoughts, tendencies, habits and instincts.
It means being 'ready-made' for the event of a new encounter without presuming that it will
be comfortable, convenient, safe. In those moments we need to be self-aware and wholly committed
to keeping peace inside and out. Intercultural dialogue is always, all the time, if we think
thoroughly, but too often we dont. Intercultural dialogue can be the revealer of our deepest
doubts, or the gift of having thought beyond what comes 'natural.' The choice is ours to make,
the work is ours to do, but the gift of it is what we share.

Intercultural dialogue is when we live accepting and exchanging knowledge concerning our values,
morals and way of life. A person is his/her culture. A person is a person with the people,
that is, humanity.
