The Community of practices: definition and function

To create an experience of a Community of good practice with as basic themes interreligious and intercultural dialogue has been a challenge, and at the same time, a strong cultural urge. To speak about a Community of good practise means to press people or groups to get in touch with each other and use their experiences in this matter as contents of their dialogue. Starting a reflection on what one has experimented also means being able and willing to put oneself at stake, opening oneself to new knowledge in order to modify, enrich and also give new meaning to one’s own work and social involvement. In the specific context regarding the culture of peace, opening a space of exchange involving different fields of research and intervention with regard to themes of interreligious and intercultural dialogue, has also signified treating this subject of study in a coherent and considerable way. The dialogue between more parties and/or different ideas, traditions, politics becomes more and more a democratic necessity.
