STRATEGIC PLANNING

The International Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania

From 23-04-2001 to 26-04-2001 (Lithuania) 

The International Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania

The question of the scope and potential of dialogue among cultures and civilizations is achieving unprecedented significance, especially in the present international context.

More than ever before, dialogue poses a fundamental challenge and must be based on the unity of mankind and commonly shared values, the recognition of the world’s cultural diversity and the equal dignity of each civilization, culture and individual.

This publication underlines the need to prevent the emergence and nurturing of new prejudices and stereotypes.

Dialogue among Civilizations: the International Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, 23–26 April, 2001, is the second publication in UNESCO’s Dialogue among Civilizations series. It contains the proceedings of a major event organized by UNESCO during the United Nations Year of Dialogue among Civilizations (2001).

The Vilnius Conference brought together heads of state, political decision-makers and diplomats, distinguished scholars, academics and artists to debate about the complex issues of culture and civilizations in the contemporary world.
