16. Intercultural dialogue is the key...

17. The utopia of dialogue “ If the anti-utopias of the 20th century inscribed themselves in the communication area, it is also in the domain of communication that the great utopian projects, capable of triggering transformation in the relationships among people, must be rooted. That is why the utopian space can be, one the one hand, the interior space of the individual, and on the other hand, the space of communication among people… Therefore, we must search for the new utopias not in places, but in the relations and communications among people .” (J.M. André, 2005)
