Cultural Cooperation Research

The European Center for Cultural Cooperation, a research area of the foundation creates a forum for investigation, meetings, and dialogue concerning the relationships between diverse cultures in the globalized world. The center’s work is always based on a humanistic concept of society and of history.

Proposals

We hope to inspire models of social and political organization based on the inherent dignity of people, respect for universal human rights, the search for peaceful coexistence between localities and nations, and the desire to extend individual and collective liberties where inequality exists.

Work Areas

• Intercultural and interreligious dialogue
• Education in civic values
• Education as an instrument for social cohesion and integration.
• Western values as bridges for dialogue.
• The role of art and culture in intercultural dialogue.
