The project ACID, though its methodology, will impact the way of communication and expressing values of European citizens participating in the panels. The empowerment of citizens’ self-confidence in having intercultural communication and applying intercultural attitudes, will contribute to the development of skills that can be applied to active citizenship. Active citizens are more attentive and conscious about impacts of regional, national and European polices, and thus can influence their improvements. In terms of long-term effects, we foresee that the project can support local partnerships among Local authorities, schools, youth associations, non-profit organisations and NGOs for the implementation of local strategies and ad hoc projects addressed to the local community, in order to improve their active participation in the definition of local policies to promote intercultural dialogue in their community. | The project ACID, though its methodology, will impact the way of communication and expressing values of European citizens participating in the panels.

Pisa, ITALY<br> | |||
16 – 17 September 2009<br> | |||
====Triggering Question==== | |||
What actions if implemented will improve intercultural dialogue? | |||
Action 18: Avoid electing politicians who refuse to engage in discussion with certain groups | |||
Clarification: Each politician should criticize their vote, no voting to extremist parties. | |||
Αction 37: Hiring educators from different cultural backgrounds and delivering of certain class curricula as a group of educators. | |||
Clarification: Professors – Teaching. Organize cooperation between groups of students who come from different countries, ethnologically heterogeneous. | |||
Action 55: Use cinematography to fight against racism | |||
Clarification: Cinema. For example, war movies where good and bad, brave and coward exist on both sides. It might seem irrelevant but it is the root of evil that leads to the rest……. | |||
Action 12: Teach in schools the lesson of intercultural dialogue | |||
Clarification: A lesson that informs the students about the different groups that compose each community. | |||
Action 30: Organization from local authorities of events that involve groups from different cultures. | |||
Clarification: It’s a way for people from different cultures to approach each other and a way for them to find common points. | |||
Action 49: Collection of information about EU Institutions in each country and dissemination through a common distributor. | |||
Clarification: A big problem for intercultural dialogue between citizens and institutions is the ignorance of their own existence. For example, in Greece there are about 30 European players who are unknown to the general public of citizens. We need a body to provide information to citizens about all these European players. | |||
Action 64: The promotion on television not only of idols of the “Arian race” | |||
Clarification: Changing the standards shown on television will help the acceptance of different groups | |||
Action 70: Finding ways of communication from EU institutions to the citizens | |||
Clarification: The European bodies should inform the citizens for their existence and potentials. | |||
