Course description and application form
1. Why Peace and Intercultural dialogue?
MTP Oradea is a non-governmental organization active in the field of Human Rights Education since 1997. Our main target group is young people and the educational approach we use is based on non-formal education. Our mission is to promote peace and tolerance, understanding between cultures and the development of civil society.
So far we've been trying to promote peace by developing community projects and fighting against discrimination, racism, violence and other phenomena, which disturb the process of peace in the world.
We understood that fighting against something is not always promoting something we want, like peace; therefore we choose to promote values that bring and ensure peace. We consider that one way of promoting peace is to improve our intercultural dialogue.
In the context of globalization, internationalism and the current political climate in Europe, intercultural dialogue is a vital mean of maintaining peace and world unity. The idea of "intercultural dialogue" takes as its starting point the recognition of difference and diverse in the world in which we live. These differences of opinion, viewpoint, and values exist not only within each individual culture but also between cultures. 'Dialogue' seeks to approach these multiple viewpoints, aiming to understand and learn from those who see the world different than we do. An effective 'intercultural dialogue', therefore, is an open interaction, which encourages the respectful sharing of ideas and an exploration of the different values and thoughts, which the world is perceived and understood.
This interaction emphasizes opportunities for broadened and deepened self-knowledge and worldview. As a process, intercultural dialogue encourages an identification of the boundaries that define individuals, and then asks them to relate across those boundaries and even to call them into question.
We believe that improving the intercultural dialogue and, therefore, promoting peace, we prevent conflicts and we find different ways to handle them.
The training course proposes you a multicultural environment to discuss about intercultural dialogue, about how we perceive misunderstandings and what can we do when we want to avoid conflicts.
2. How can this training course be useful for you?
If you are a youth worker, educator, student in a related field, policy maker or peace builder, and you want to develop your intercultural skills for a more effective dialogue in a society with many faces of diversity, then this is a training course for you!

3. Who are the trainers?
