Intercultural dialogue is not only the meeting of cultures, a shared respect for each other
and even an attempt to comprehend, but also this dialogue implies that something can be created.
We need to go beyond the differences to debate, mix together and create.
Non seulement le dialogue interculturel est la rencontre des differences et des cultures, le respect mutuel, la comprehension, mais en plus, un dialogue implique une creation: les differences culturelles se transcendent pour debattre, se melanger et creer ensemble.

Culture is the true European identity power. In this context the major role of the European
artists is to promote through art cultural diversity and preserve common values of Europe. At
european level for me Intercultural dialogue means integration and I am sure that Intercultural
dialogue through art is an important instrument which could facilitate the integration of new
countries in the European Union. In this dialogue artists must convince governments and politicians
that there is a need in cultural renaissance across Europe. If politicians of European countries
will understand this, European integration will not be limited by economic, political, security
and other reasons. It is important to inspire people living in the European Union to actively
get in touch with other cultures, both at home and abroad, and thus to contribute to tolerance
and mutual respect which are conditions for existence of Europe.
La nivel european pentru mine dialogul intercultural inseamna integrare. Sunt convins ca dialogul intercultural prin arta este un important instrument ce poate facilita integrarea a noi tari membre in UE. In acest dialog artistul trebuie sa convinga guvernele si politicienii europeni ca este nevoie de o renastere culturala in sinul Europei. Daca politicienii europeni vor intelege acest adevar, integrarea europeana nu va fi limitata din motive economice, politice sau de securitate.

At least for me, the intercultural dialogue is a symbol of the contemporary world, where we
could hardly talk about a (national) mono-culture surrounded by variety of small or sub-cultures.
Thus, the intercultural dialogue is the dialogue between the multitude of cultures, which
co-exist and co-influence each other in our societies. Moreover, I have in mind not only the
ethnic or religious cultures, but also youth cultures, cultures from the suburbs, may be even
the cultures of the people with disabilities. . .
За мен междукултурният диалог е символ на съвременния свят, където вече трудно може да говорим за една единна (национална) култура и множество малки или суб-култури. Затова междукултурният диалог е диалогът между множеството култури, които съжителстват и се взаимопроникват в нашите общества. При това не говоря за само за етнически и религиозно обагрените култури, но също така за младежките култури, културите на предградията, може би дори културата на хората с увреждания...

We are conscious that intercultural dialogue is an important element for the integration of
the communities, and I think that as a citizens, we are responsible of recognizing our culture
as much as the other one, and to respect them by similar and different that they seem to us.

the diversity of traditions, languages and cultures. In it we share values. With it we come
closer to Self in the Other.

Dialogue means to talk to each other on the same level. In intercultural dialogue we can never
be sure that we really speak the same language as the person we talk to. Sometimes it is difficult
to handle this unsureness because it leaves us in an empty space. But if we cross this space,
if continue asking questions, if we constantly try to understand more and more, if we stay
curious and open, then we will reach abundance. We get to know better ourselves and our own
culture and we can understand more of what happens in the world. Life becomes easier and wider.
Art becomes richer and multifarious.
Dialog bedeutet miteinander auf gleicher Augenhöhe zu sprechen. Beim interkulturellen Dialog dürfen wir uns nie sicher sein, die selbe Sprache wie das Gegenüber zu sprechen. Manchmal ist es schwierig mit dieser Unsicherheit umzugehen, weil sie uns in einem luftleeren Raum zurück lässt. Doch wenn wir diesen Raum durchqueren, wenn wir Fragen stellen, wenn wir versuchen mehr und mehr zu verstehen, wenn wir neugierig und offen bleiben, dann gelangen wir zu einem großen Reichtum. Wir lernen uns und unsere eigene Kultur besser kennen und verstehen mehr von der Welt. Das Leben wird dadurch leichter und gleichzeitig voller. Die Kunst wird dadurch reicher und facettenreicher.

intercultural dialogue means a positive response towards different cultures in the world to
associate with each other the traditional ethnics and norms of their societies on an aim of
creating a positive sense of humour to their neighbours. For example in Uganda their some tribes
that kill the first borns and others do not kill them so that show that their is a wide gap
between one tribe and another, hence having an intercultural dialogue.
it means sharing different cultural ethinics to our neighbours coming from a different tribe,country or continent.

Intercultural dialoge is not merely the sharing of opinions and the different mentalities.
In an ever globalising world, Intercultural dialogue provides an opportunity for the various
cultures to bring together their differences and to find a common ground on which they can
start understanding each other better, and also to enhance and expand their cooperation. Intercultural
dialogue creates a web of different cultures in one.
Djalogu interkulturali mhux sempliciment qsim ta' opinjonijiet u mentalitajiet differenti. F'dinja li kontinwament qed issir iktar Globalizzata, Djalogu Interkulturali jipprovdi opportunita' lill-kulturi diversi biec jinghaqdu flimkien fid-differenzi kollha taghhom, u bies isibu art komuni fuq xiex ikunu jistghu jibdew jifhmu ahjar lil xulxin, u biex ukoll ikabbru u jestendu l-koperazzjoni taghhom.

A cross-cultural dialog is not a conversation between two culters, but a close interaction
of them. For example: a cross-cultural interection of medical and social service. It is a close
cooperaction of foreing patient care institutions and adoption of high technologies for patient

Межкультурный диалог - это не разговор между двумя культурами, а их взаимодействие друг с другом. Рассмотрим к примеру межкультурный диалог в медицине и социальной работе.

The true wealth of a people lies in their culture, their relationships, their communities
and ways of living. Culture is a manisfestation of our collective mindset and the strides we
have made as a race that is continuosly evolving, in this journey of life. Intercultural dialogue,
to me, is an exchange of this wealth and wisdom that lies within each of our communities.
Whilst sharing this wealth we get to know the other better, as nations, as religions and as
humans. And we appreciate the diversity that we are born with.
