The fifth session of the II Forum Civile
Euromed, within the thematic area Values and Cultures as Resources,
confirmed the importance of Barcelona resolution recommending
to develop the inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue.
The overcoming of stereotypes and prejudices is valid for
the religion but also for all barriers created by particularisms
and different histories, origins, cultures. The dialogue,
either inter-religious, inter-ethnic or inter-cultural, must
include a spirit of acceptance, of listening to and opening
towards others. Among the proposed projects were: Inter-cultural
Forum among Monotheistic Religions ; Stage for Mediterranean
students in order to promote occasions of cultural and religious
confrontation ; To start a campaign of education to peace
in schools so as to learn how to manage conflicts.
