Dialogue Circles promote intercultural and interfaith dialogue, encouraging inclusion, critical reflection, and respect for diversity.
Within the framework of the CLAIM – Local Support Centre for the Integration of Migrants, three Dialogue Circles dedicated to Intercultural and Interfaith Dialogue will be organised for students, academic staff, and professionals from the Universidade Lusófona academic community, as well as the wider community.
Each Dialogue Circle aims to create a structured, safe, and participatory space, encouraging critical reflection, the sharing of experiences, and the deconstruction of stereotypes and prejudices associated with cultural and religious diversity.
In a context marked by increasing cultural and religious superdiversity, intensified by migration flows and the growing pluralisation of identities, the University positions itself as a privileged space for encounter, dialogue, and the construction of intercultural coexistence, contributing to greater inclusion, mutual respect, and social cohesion.
