MISSION STATEMENT<br />

CDAC was founded as a follow up to the United Nations International Year for the Dialogue of Civilizations in 2001. <strong>The</strong> current world<br />

situation more than ever demands the development and strengthening of dialogue. CDAC aims to develop, cultivate and promote the<br />

spirit and culture of dialogue with the ultimate goal of creating tools and instruments to address the current global issues and<br />

challenges in a constructive, evolutionary and democratic way.<br />

BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />

Founding year 2003.<br />

• CDAC conducts a research project on “<strong>The</strong> Golden Rules of Dialogue”: This research project aims at developing<br />

simple yet powerful and comprehensive guidelines on essential elements of productive dialogue which will be presented in<br />

the form of a manual.<br />

• CDAC creates a comprehensive online based Resource Centre on the Dialogue among Civilizations: This onlinecentre<br />

will make valuable information such as news, calendar of events, portraits of organizations etc. easily accessible. It<br />

will promote the different organizations in their work, support networking and cooperation among organizations and<br />

institutions.<br />

• CDAC promotes “Dialogue in Action”: In the promotion of the action oriented dialogue, CDAC mobilizes different<br />

sectors of society (Business, Academic Institutions, Int. Organizations, Authorities, Media, Artists, etc.). Through this<br />

constructive dialogue, CDAC aims to propose concrete actions and projects to individuals and the different public actors<br />

alike, in order to promote comprehensive security.<br />

• CDAC creates a network of “Friends for Dialogue”: This network brings together persons of good will and common<br />

interest. We will particularly promote the cooperation with the academic community and youth organizations. This network<br />

should also serve the research activities and support the promotion of CDAC activities on the international level.<br />
