Intercultural Mediation. Screenings at the Library: “The Long Road to Peace. Four Documentaries to Reflect on Peace and Conflict”

31st March 2026
Event
Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication

What dynamics lead to conflict? How can one survive in a society devastated by war? What does peaceful coexistence among different religious communities mean? Can music foster dialogue and bring peace between conflicting groups? Four examples: India, Rwanda, Morocco, and Israel/Palestine. A journey of viewing and dialogue aimed at understanding and preventing contemporary conflicts, with particular attention to crucial themes such as the dynamics of conflict, post-war reconstruction, linguistic and cultural mediation, and interreligious coexistence.
