We believe that Civilizational Dialogue has great potential to help prevent conflicts – on the international, national and local levels – by reducing misunderstandings and mistrust, and by promoting unity in diversity. Also, a culture of dialogue and cooperation can provide solutions to current and future economic, social and political problems by shared experiences and joint collaborative work. HCDHF promotes the culture of dialogue, increased knowledge about different cultures, respect for other value systems and traditions, inclusiveness and a strong spirit of coexistence.
