Symposium
November 26, 2016 at 10:00 AM
In this time, when we are surrounded by frightening information about what is happening in the world, it is especially valuable to hear the thoughts of experts in the field of intercultural and interreligious dialogue and to join them critically and creatively in dynamic and open discussions. A person without a culture of dialogue, a culture of cooperation and a culture of research can be a very poor, lonely and contradictory person, despite material wealth.
The symposia will address the essence that represents the origin of the cultural within us:
· How to be and become even more human?
· How to discover and expose all obstacles to world peace?
· How to awaken abilities within oneself and use them for the common good?
The members of the TKBAK team decided to explore the field of intercultural dialogue, so they prepared a second mini-symposium under the theme of the above title, entitled "The Art of Living in a Multicultural World of Change"
The ideal interpersonal relationship is a strong and deep connection or acquaintanceship involving two or more people. The connection may be based on love, solidarity, regular business interaction, or other social obligations.
The context of interpersonal acquaintance and understanding between people varies from family, colleagues, friendship, marital status, sports participation, and religion.
The globalization of the world in the 20th century brought us a lot of good things. But at the same time, it also brought us challenges and problems for which, despite all scientific achievements, we have still not found an adequate answer and solution.
The constant and consistent migration of people, made possible by globalization, creates the possibility of people with completely opposite religious beliefs and opinions coming into contact, which often leads to minor or major conflicts that can and have already escalated into major unrest.
Despite the efforts of world politics, despite the efforts of the European Union to financially support projects that promote reconciliation of intercultural differences and religious coexistence, we fail to find an effective answer to the question: "How could we all understand each other beautifully and culturally?"
At the symposium, together with invited experts, we will discuss this "art" of how to culturally coexist in a world that is constantly changing and where individuals with different beliefs, opinions, views, and desires frequently mix.
