SUMMARY:Global Dialogues: Is peaceful co-existence possible after polarization?
DESCRIPTION:Download Final Report:  English   Spanish \n\nThe diversity among human beings and the diversity of cultural expressions of our humanity is the most important heritage that must be cared for. This assumption requires developing societies that care for the “other”\, in particular the “other” who lives and thinks differently. Such care is the indispensable step for generating a type of public culture that privileges a form of social interaction that can be called “learning in difference.” It is not enough to tolerate\, a word that carries a sense of distance and closure in the face of the ideas and practices of the “other.” A society is culturally poorer if the possibility of dialogue\, of sharing and learning from those who are different\, is closed off. \nThe recognition of the other as an interlocutor and the openness toward his or her reasons become necessary practices. How can they be achieved in societies polarized by conflict? How can we find points of encounter when different visions of the world clash? What are the best practices of dialogue and reconciliation? The conference will tackle these questions\, exploring patterns of intercultural dialogue that can build bridges between groups as well as the elements of extremism that render impossible recognition of\, and openness to\, the other. \nDownload (PDF\, 132KB) \n\n\nFinal Report (English and Spanish Versions Available): \nDownload (PDF\, 192KB) \n\nDownload (PDF\, 482KB)

DESCRIPTION:The Mediterranean Concert \nHuman Rights and Alliance of Civilisations Room\, United Nations\, Geneva \n\nORGANISED BY: FUNDACION ONUART\nSPONSORED BY: THE UNITED NATIONS ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS (UNAOC) \nARTISTIC PRODUCER: ORIOL FERRER\nDATE: 9th JULY 2016\n\n \nThroughout history\, this sea has been the cradle of exceptionally important civilisations\, and for centuries a variety of languages\, religions and traditions have coexisted on its shores. \nFar from being a barrier\, the Mediterranean has been a channel for communication\, a bridge between cultures\, since antiquity. Its peoples have used it as a route for the exchange of goods\, but also of knowledge and wisdom. This is perhaps why their music and song have drunk from the same source of inspiration\, and there are many influences of theme\, style and rhythm that they all share. \nThis concert\, especially organised by Fundación ONUART at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva\, will have artists from different cultures sharing a stage\, artists with diverse tongues\, different religions\, varied styles and traditions yet all of them with one common purpose: to reclaim the Mediterranean as a meeting point of cultures. \nDownload (PDF\, 281KB) \n\nDownload (PDF\, 1.42MB)
