The role of education in the prevention of radicalisation leading to terrorism and violent extremism is the main theme at the 2016 Council of Europe Exchange on the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue. It takes place at the Palais de l’Europe (room 1, Webcast), on 9-10 November 2016, following the World Forum for Democracy.
The Exchange provides a platform for dialogue between public authorities, religious communities and organisations representing non-religious beliefs, and broader civil society on topics of particular importance to the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue.
Opening statements were delivered by Deputy Secretary General Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni, by the Chair of the Ministers’ Deputies Ambassador Katrin Kivi, by PACE President Pedro Agramunt and by the Chair of the Human Rights Commission of the Conference of INGOs Michel Aguilar.
