Interview with Fethi Mansouri - Advancing a new social contract in the post-Covid-19 era?
Professor Fethi Mansouri, PhD., UNESCO Chairholder, Cultural Diversity and Social Justice at the Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia and UNITWIN Convenor, Inter-religious Dialogue and Intercultural Understanding (IDIU) shares his views on the impact of COVID-19 on intercultural dialogue.

Are we ready to engage in a new social contract in view of the post-COVID-19 era?
