My personal interpretation is based on my experience as part of the EON network - The European
Off Network of independent theatre companies and artists - I have attended two meetings, one
in Austria and one in Italy, where artists from a wide range of cultural backgrounds have come
together to share practice watch, make and discuss theatre, and to eat, drink, sing, party,
and generally spend time together. Artists from cultures, ethnic groups or countries which
have had historic barriers between people have met and made friends at these events - we have
seen Turks and Greeks sharing a dance session - people from the former Yugoslavia discussing
drama and drinking wine together, and arabs and israeli jews sitting and eating together -
However Intercultural dialogue is not about people agreeing with one another - It is about
people listening to one another - Once you are prepared to listen, you have the potential to
learn, to share and to discover another perspective on life.

In my opinion, intercultural dialogue should happen among individuals - one person meeting
another person, deeply understanding something about their ideas, intentions, goals and histories.
Something should be shared: food, drink, an activity or a common goal. This should happen
as frequently as possible with the understanding that single individuals cannot represent cultures,
countries, civilizations or a people.

To my mind, intercultural dialogue is the conversation held between people who have different
culture or/and religion. They respect each other and appreciate the variety of cultures around
the globe.
Международен диалог за мен е разговорът, който се провежда между хора от различни култури, религии или етнос, които се разбират, уважават и ценят разнообразието на култури в света.

Intercultural Dialogue involves open interaction between two or more individuals from a total different background of culture with the intention or objective of understanding of each others culture. Intercultural Dialogue also creates a room for understand culture from different background.

From my point of view, Intercultural dialogue goes beyond a mere tolerance of the other and
can involve creative abilities that convert challenges and insights into innovation processes
and into new forms of expression.

From my personal interpretation the intercultural dialogue relates to an exchange or interaction
between States, or between different regions which have similar or different characteristics,
it is an interaction that must exist for the purpose of tending towards harmony and peaceful
resolution of worldwide conflicts .

My definition for inter cultural dialogue is that exchange of perspective and participation
among people of different cultural background. The exchange of knowledge to create a mutual
understanding of one another.

From my point of view, intercultural dialogues is a situation, which is characterized by exchanging
thoughts, opinions, facts and views between people from different nations, culture, religions,
lifestyles. This dialogue could lead to better mutual understanding of each other\\\'s behaviour,
view points and attitudes towards certain situations and global processes.
Според мен междукултурният диалог е ситуация, която се характеризира с размяна на мисли, мнения, факти и гледни точки между хора от различни националности, култури, религии, с различен начин на живот. Междукултурният диалог може да допринесе за по-добро взаимно разбиране на поведението на другите, техните гледни точки и нагласи към определени ситуации и глобални процеси.(Master Student, first language is Bulgarian, living in Cottbus,Germany)

It is easy to think of dialogue as dictionaries define it: a conversation between two or more
persons. However, imagining dialogue in societies and among a bigger number of people becomes
more challenging. According to The Council of Europe White Paper on International Dialogue
(2008), dialogue has to reckon with factors such as cohesion among the member states, different
organizations, religious communities, refugees associations, local and regional authorities,
artistic and literary understandings, and much more. In a multilingual context such as
the EU, dialoguing becomes more difficult due to different languages and cultural backgrounds.
When one thinks about interaction and cooperation, dialogue is no doubt one of the first factors
to bear in mind. A means to plan common projects, reflect on differences, and avoid misunderstandings,
discrimination, and intolerance. However in order to surpass cultural crystallizations
(Witteborn, 2011) and different cultural conceptions, multicultural communication assumes primary
importance. How does dialogue become possible in Europe if countries like mine (Italy) are
still far away from achievements such as participation, efficient learning of foreign languages,
space to dialogue, and promotion of intercultural cities? Hence, dialoguing becomes difficult
and as a consequence people unable to have cultural exchanges (reasons of time, family, money)
tend to remain in closed groups and to build barriers of discrimination, stereotyping, tension
etc. Therefore, in my opinion The Council of Europe White Paper on International Dialogue
is a very well-planned project but unfortunately does not reflect the actual situation of the
EU. If in the future more countries will be able to adopt this plan of interaction, dialogue
will no doubt have beneficial effects on Europe and countries could take a step forward towards
greater awareness of their role in the union and reduction of continuous rivalry.
E\\\' semplice pensare al dialogo nel modo in cui esso viene definito dai dizionari: scambio verbale e non tra due o più persone. Tuttavia, immaginare il dialogo in grandi sistemi come le società europee diventa materia più complessa. Il libro bianco sul dialogo interculturale pubblicato nel 2008 dal Consiglio Europeo sostiene che il dialogo deve tenere conto di fattori quali fratellanza tra gli stati membri, diverse organizzazioni, diverse comunità religiose, autorità regionali e locali, sussidi per profughi e rifugiati di guerra, comprensione culturale... L\\\'esistenza di diverse lingue all\\\'interno di una realtà complessa come quella dell\\\'Unione Europea rende indubbiamente impegnativa l\\\'impresa di stabile un dialogo. Andare oltre le cristallizzazioni culturali tuttavia è importante al fine di evitare fraintendimenti, discriminazione ed intolleranza. Ma come è possibile oggi stabilire dialogo in Europa se paesi come il mio (l\\\'Italia) non investono a sufficienza sull\\\'insegnamento delle lingue straniere? Se il personale accademico non risulta sempre qualificato? Se non viene incoraggiata l\\\'iniziativa di costruire città multietniche? L\\\'Italia è oggi un paese fortemente sospettoso e scarsamente aperto alla cooperazione. Gente senza la possibilità di viaggiare e la cui capacità critica viene poco stimolata dal nostro sistema educativo tende sempre più a chiudersi in se stessa e cercare di stabilire confini al fine di allontanare il \\
