IRD Activities

  • Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue - Defence of Cultural Diversity

    Following the adoption in 2008 of its "White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue", the CE started several programmes on teacher training, the protection of minorities and social cohesion, including an annual dialogue with religious communities and representatives of non-religious beliefs. A network of Intercultural Cities helps its member cities to manage cultural diversity and fosters mixing and interaction between heterogeneous groups in public places in order to promote cohesion.
