The Main Goal of the Dialogue
Creating a space for an open exchange of opinions and ideas as well as forming a sustainable transnational network of professionals ready to cooperate and work together on different contemporary topics.
Approach
The intensive three-day dialogue and discussions are a chance to bring a different perspective to the key events of the past that affect interstate and intercultural relations in the present. Dialogue participants, supported by experienced facilitators and experts, form the agenda for the discussions themselves. The most important topics will be further analysed in the discussions. In conducting the dialogues, we rely on the methodology actively and successfully applied by the partner organisation - Imagine Center for Conflict Transformations.
