International Dialogue for Understanding and Cultural Exchange
about the project
NoBorderSpace provides a platform to discuss complex and relevant issues of history of the relationships, intercultural contacts, imperial and colonial legacies, memory and history politics, nationalism, and contemporary conflicts, as well as methods and perspectives for their peaceful transformation.
In 2024 the project will implement an online education program: a series of lectures and discussions on imperialism and nationalism, memory politics and historical politics, different anticolonial, postcolonial, and decolonial approaches; violence, armed conflicts, and the
ways of their peaceful transformation.
Two training schools for moderators/facilitators of dialogues and discussions will be held in Georgia in 2024.

Approach
We aim to seamlessly combine different formats. Intensive dialogue and discussions, lectures and trainings are a chance to bring a different perspective to the key events of the past that affect interstate and intercultural relations in the present. The Autumn School participants, supported by experienced facilitators and experts, actively participate in shaping the agenda for the discussions and developing ideas for future multimedia materials. The autumn school also includes training sessions to develop skills for creating multimedia materials.
