The future is already here: challenges and opportunities of coexistence in diversity

The future is already here: challenges and opportunities of coexistence in diversity

12.Sep - 13. Sep, 2024 Cod. G25-24

Description

In democratic societies, living together in diversity is a reality that reflects a progressive process of acquisition of rights by all citizens. The challenge is to recognise this diversity and, at the same time, to consolidate itself as a cohesive society. In democratic societies, respecting plurality is not only an element of development and stability, but also a question of legality, principles and guiding values. Ensuring social cohesion means accepting the existence of differences, but also a commitment to ensure that these differences do not degenerate into inequalities.

The cities around us are already diverse: it is not a temporary phenomenon, but a key sign of identity for understanding life in the city and in the neighbourhoods. The future is already here, and it is essential to stop to reflect, to go deeper, to train, to work to manage socio-demographic changes by adapting to the complexities and taking advantage of opportunities from an intercultural perspective.

The intercultural city is based on respect for the inherent human rights of each person in a context of equality, promotes respect for diversity, recognises its positive value, and encourages positive interaction to guarantee a coexistence that facilitates development and social cohesion.

This course aims to contribute to an awareness of the diverse reality of the cities around us; to identify and address the main challenges of the intercultural city; to develop a better understanding of the diversity of the city and its surroundings; and to promote the development and social cohesion of the city and its inhabitants.
