International Conference Program
‘Cultural Empathy and Communicative Intelligence”

6-9 May 2010

Dialogue for Arts!
Dialogue for Peace!
Dialogue for Mobility!

Objective:

The Conference acts as a further opportunity to promote intercultural dialogue; by establishing a conceptual framework for cultural and artistic exchange throughout Europe and the rest of the world; emphasizing the pioneering role of arts as a direct communication medium; and reflecting on the idea that Arts can be an effective tool to advance understanding and dialogue by creating new forms of communication.

The conference program, developed on the basis of Jurgen Habermas’ work in communicative reason and action, focuses on the theme of “Communicative Intelligence” by searching the way for building a common artistic language, pointing at aesthetic expressive reason and its effects on politics for common future, increasing opportunities for joint works and mobility, and establishing a platform for dialogue throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.
