National Forum on Intercultural Dialogue at St. James Cavalier

On Friday 30^th January 2009 the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport and St. James Cavalier Centre for Creativity invited business organisations, local councils, NGOs, artists, educators and other interested stakeholders to contribute to a National Forum on Intercultural Dialogue at St. James Cavalier.

The Forum assessed the role of intercultural dialogue and the future of our diverse cultural communities. It also marked the end of Malta’s active role in the events that celebrated the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. The half day forum was addressed by Minister Cristina with interventions amongst others by Dr Mark Anthony Falzon, Prof Paul Clough and Dr. Katrine Camilleri.

In addition, four workshops (Creative Dialogues: The arts and ICD; Not in my neighbourhood: integration and local communities; Baa baa black sheep: Intercultural Dialogue in education; Mind the gap: Employment and intercultural dialogue) led by notable key experts such as Prof Carmel Borg and Ms Sina Bugeja tackled specific areas and recommendations related to education, employment, the arts and integration.
