How can we create spaces where people with different identities, experiences, and viewpoints can engage in dialogue and build a shared future together?
This is the central question of the final conference of the Training for the Contact Zone project.
Over the course of two days, professionals from the cultural, heritage, education, and social sectors, as well as policymakers, will come together to reflect on the role of culture in strengthening democracy and social cohesion. Through debates, participatory workshops, and networking moments, participants will explore the conditions needed to develop inclusive spaces that foster cultural participation and dialogue.
In a context marked by polarization and social divisions, this event will highlight the importance of cultural rights, civic participation, and collaborative cultural practices in building a more democratic society.
