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 a process that comprises an open and diverse dialogue through the
interaction of individuals or groups from different cultural backgrounds in order to achieve
understanding of the different attitudes without bias, fostering the respect and creating strong
links between different cultures for the promotion of peace and democracy.
Ο διαπολιτισμικός διάλογος είναι μια διαδικασία που περιλαμβάνει μια ανοιχτή και διαφορετική ανταλλαγή απόψεων μέσω της αλληλεπίδρασης ατόμων ή ομάδων από διαφορετικά πολιτιστικά υπόβαθρα με στόχο την επίτευξη κατανόησης των διαφορετικών αντιλήψεων χωρίς προκαταλήψεις, την καλλιέργεια του σεβασμού, τη δημιουργία ισχυρών δεσμών μεταξύ διαφορετικών πολιτισμών για την προώθηση της ειρήνης και της δημοκρατίας.
