General Information
Pillars of Cultural  Dialogues is a Non Governmental, not profit, neutral organization aims at promoting values of cultural dialogues and diversities, respecting the “ otherness” in Jordan, the Arab countries and globally.  It strives to bridge the gaps among diverse cultures and build the possible linkages through multiple cultural dialogues. This  mission that we are carrying out, including the pillars of  cultural dialogues, is an initiative to establish a peaceful dialogue between the East and West.  It is exactly like the experience of somebody who is digging in a deserted land to build a house on it; and therefore, he/she should start with its foundation, which we hope it becomes powerful and strong so that it is able to handle the deplorable situations while we are building bridges between “ us” and the “ others In our current era, where conflicts are increasingly erupting, we inquire about solutions via conferences, debates, and dialogues; yet, unfortunately, this issues is still an area of ruthless  conflicts and disagreements.  Humanity can benefit from the positive outcomes of our world’s cultural diversities in order to gain a civilized and unrepeatable momentum through experience and cultural exchange, since diversity is a global prosperity. Similarly, our world can benefit from the multiple cultural, social, political, and religious..etc diversities. Hence, and in order to reach the best potential humanitarian relationships, human beings should except the ‘ otherness’ regardless of each other’s positive and negative differences, the good and the bad.
