Meeting Description:

The concept of the World Conference “DiaIogue Among Civilisations” refers to the idea developed by the Institute of Political Studies, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw, following the proclamation of the General Assembly of the United Nations from November 1998, under which the year 2001 was named the “United Nations Year of Dialogue among Civilizations”.

We are deeply convinced that reviving the idea will create a unique opportunity for academics, social and cultural activists as well as politicians to exchange information, views and ideas, and the World Conference “Dialogue among Civilisations” will become a platform for constructive discussions, leading also to substantial and effective actions.

“Dialogue among Civilisations” is planned as a biannual event, gathering Participants from all over the world. The main focus of this series of conference meetings is placed on the complex relations between the EU, Asia, Africa and the Middle East observed and discussed on multidirectional level, as well as the multilateral relations between the Asian, African and Middle Eastern states.

The “Dialogue Among Civilisations” World Conference is aimed to:

- Enhance understanding, tolerance and respect for different cultures within and among civilizations
- Suggest effective actions for the future and creating new instruments of inter-civilisational dialogue
- Support a new type of economic activities, which will allow a parallel and complementary stream to globalisation
- Protect and enhance cultural diversity

Series 1 of the World Conference “Dialogue Among Civilisations”, titled “Dialogue among Civilisations and the (Post)Colonial Legacy”, organized by the Institute of the Middle and Far East, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, on 7-9 September 2016, will be a significant event which will offer a unique opportunity to discuss the past and present of the dialogue between civilisations and cultures and to bring new perspectives and approaches in intercultural understanding.
