Platform for Intercultural Europe Discussion Papers 1 & 2

Joel Anderson and Sukhvinder Kaur-Stubbs on Enabling free, full and equal participation

It is part of our mission to develop understanding of the concepts behind intercultural dialogue and action. In realising our vision of an Intercultural Europe we have choices to make. We need to shed well-meaning, but ineffective projects and activities from those that bring real change. We need to be equipped with knowledge to carry out our work and with language to present it. The Platform for Intercultural Europe Discussion Papers 1 & 2 mark the beginning of a series of occasional papers intended to stimulate organisations in our membership and wider network to reflect on their strategic orientation. "There is a particularly clear need for a more explicit statement of the relationship between power and dialogue, in order to highlight the ways in which genuine intercultural dialogue can be challenging and transformative for all involved", says Joel Anderson.
