Inauguration of Espace Matteo Ricci - Equal-Earth Festival

Regards croisés sur l'interculturalité

This conference will bring together Fabrice Dhume (UCLouvain), Afroditi Maravelaki (Hénallux) and Leïla Derrouich (UNamur) for an enriching exchange on the challenges of interculturality in our contemporary societies. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the speakers will address the tensions and opportunities linked to cultural diversity, as well as the challenges of inclusion in educational, professional and social spaces. The conference will also explore policies and practices that foster constructive intercultural dialogue, while questioning the representations and power dynamics that shape interactions between cultures. A time of exchange with the audience will enable these reflections to be deepened and experiences and perspectives to be shared.
