Inter-Cultural Relations Perspectives Are To Be Studied In Kharkiv

The Institute of Oriental Studies and International Relations “Kharkiv Collegium”, All-Ukrainian Association Of Social Organisations “Alraid” and “Al-Manar” Islamic Cultural Centre are planning a roundtable regarding some topical issues.

Judging by different events on Islamic studies being held more and more frequently, it’s clear that interest in this topic is increasing among Ukrainian researchers and that they understand the importance of interfaith and intercultural dialogue. Preventing misunderstanding and aggression is the main purpose of why such events are held and why the universities develop closer relations with cultural and religious centres.

“Cross-Cultural Interaction In Modern Society” is to become the subject of discussion at a round table in Kharkiv with the following topics on the agenda:
- challenges of intercultural communication in modern society;
- problems of interfaith and interethnic dialogue;
- impact of religion and culture at modern society;
- tolerance and xenophobia: forms of appearance against the background of globalization.

A cross-disciplinary diges of researches is to be issued as a result of the discussion.
