The present edition of Redefining Community in Intercultural Context Conference will focus mainly on the need for inclusive security education in order to develop societal resilience, under special circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Societal resilience refers not only to society’s ability to withstand external shocks or various threats, but also to maintain a high level of social connectivity and to develop mutual trust among citizens, citizens and institutions, respectively. This level of resilience can only be achieved through inclusive education, both intercultural and security education.

Six editions of Redefining Community in Intercultural Context Conference Proceedings have already been included in Clarivate Analytics (former ISI - Thompson Reuters) databases, Conference Proceeding Citation Index, Social Science & Humanities.

MAIN GOAL

The main goal is an exchange of experience between professors, researchers and practitioners in the field of community dynamics, especially in the area of intercultural pedagogy. Moreover, we look forward to putting into practice the new ideas that will result from the cross-fertilization of teaching activities and scientific research. Our end-goal is to improve the quality of education and, consequently, of personal and intellectual development. Last but not least, we are eager to disseminate the results of our multicultural dialogue within the academic community and beyond it.
