Genuine interreligious and interconvictional dialogue is an essential prerequisite for social cohesion and peace. This requires inner peace and the cultivation of emotional balance as well as respectful listening. Social cohesion comes through minimising inequalities and avoiding exclusion. To learn or improve dialogue skills, here are some helpful documentations and suggestions for practical steps and trainings.
