The Intercultural
Dialogue Podcast

Die Welt wird schnell eine Sphäre der globalen Vernetzung und Informationsaustausch; was bedeutet dies für unsere verschiedenen Kulturen? Viele Kulturen sind verloren, was vielleicht anzeigt, wie unsere Welt langsam sich einer einzigen, vereinten Kultur nähert, die nicht die Traditionen schützt, welche über die Jahrhunderte hinweg etabliert worden sind. What is it like to exist between two or more cultures?Bedeutet die Hybridisierung der Kulturen, dass wir uns zwischen den Kulturen entscheiden müssen oder können wir sie miteinander vermischen um eine einzigartige und individuelle zu schaffen?

Wall of Experience

This month`s wall of experience is based upon the themes of transition and belonging. While dealing with changes between periods of our lives, we often seem to forget that our thoughts, emotions, actions, and above all, decisions, might not be too different from those of others. Sometimes, a simple thought from somone who has gone through a similar experience can change our perspective on the situation at hand. Transitioning from school to university or work, and learning to live on your own can be a big step towards independence. Check out the experiences from the Beyond Graduation communitt to see if any strike the chord of with you, or, add your own stories

Intercultural Dialogue on Diversity:

Defining culture is no easy task because it means many different things to many people. There are easily as many definitions of "culture" as there are cultures in the world!

Culture as defined by the UNESCO as, "the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group and that it encompasses in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs." Bürger mit verschiedenen kulturellen Hintergrund zu ermutigen sich im Dialog einzubringen erlaubt uns Kulturaspekte zu untersuchen , die wir normalerweise nict erkennen, weil sie so tief in unserer Identität verwurzelt ist.
