The Intercultural Dialogue Resource Centre was launched in 2020 as a part of the Anna Lindh Foundation's website to offer relevant and up-to-date resources for the EuroMed community and beyond with the aim of making publications on intercultural dialogue in the Euro-Mediterranean accessible to everyone.
The hub's overall goal is to make accessible documents related to Intercultural Dialogue in the EuroMed region produced by civil society, media, academia and other relevant stakeholders. It includes academic and journalistic articles, policy papers, reports, guides, toolkits, manuals dealing with intercultural dialogue with a EuroMed/national approach.
It is organised in line with the following thematic priorities:
1. Education: i.e. intercultural learning;
2. Cities: i.e. mobility, migration and intercultural cities;
3. Media: i.e. media literacy, cross-cultural reporting and its role in shaping perceptions;
4. Culture: i.e. arts, creativity, translation for dialogue;
5. Youth: i.e. youth empowerment, mutual perceptions;
6. Gender: i.e. fighting gender and cultural stereotyping.
