Rhodes Forum - World Public Forum "Dialogue of Civilizations"

Interdependence of Cultures in the Dialogue Community

The renovation of cultural identity in the present world is based on the dialogue tools of cross-cultural interaction rather than on the appropriation and the transformation of other cultures in proper model. Relevant concepts enable the representation of cultural diversity as the constellation of response methods applied by different nations to global issues.

Main Vectors of Discussion:

• Cross-cultural dialogue and integrity issues in response to global challenges;
• Renovation of cultural identity in the present world as a counterweapon against social and economic chaos.
