Time of Togetherness and Dialogue

The Association for Intercultural Dialogue is always looking for opportunities to promote understanding, integration, and dialogue through cultural and national holidays. While until now we have often focused on events such as iftars during Ramadan, this year we have decided to extend the warmth of dialogue to a new tradition: Christmas and New Year’s dinners.

In the last month, we have organized five Christmas and New Year dinners, bringing together friends from different faiths, cultures, and backgrounds. At the table, we shared not only meals but also honest conversations about the importance of unity and the beauty of diversity. One thing became clear: such gatherings are essential.

In addition to these dinners, our volunteers also carried out a wonderful giving campaign that started with our neighbors, colleagues, and friends. Through this tradition, we want to spread joy, gratitude, and the spirit of giving during this special time. In this way, we celebrate the relationships we cherish and enter the New Year with pride and love.

As we look to the future, we are more inspired than ever to continue to build bridges and promote dialogue in our society. May the coming year be full of kindness, connection, and mutual understanding.

Let the dialogue go on!
