People talking face to face are no longer enemies but other human beings with problems to solve
The Centre for World Dialogue is founded on the conviction that all people
have the right to engage in the free and open discussion of ideas. The Centre
believes that dialogue and the exchange of views have a vital role to play
in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. These basic principles underpin
the Centre?s commitment to promoting greater understanding and co-operation
at all levels through initiating and encouraging discussion on issues of global
concern.
The Centre?s work is co-ordinated across a number of key areas:
• Organisation of two or three major conferences a year on a wide range
of international topics.
• Publication of the quarterly journal Global Dialogue, presenting
the latest thinking by academics and experts worldwide.
• Provision of a reference library and research facility at the Centre?s
offices in Nicosia.
• Co-ordination of occasional meetings between prominent figures and
community leaders.
The Centre?s location in Cyprus – historically a bridgehead between Europe
and the Middle East – means that it is ideally placed to facilitate communication
between the cultures of East and West.
