Measuring Intercultural Dialogue: A Conceptual and Technical Framework Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace The challenges of addressing growing diversity have amply demonstrated that this vision is needed now more than ever. We all have much to gain from more open and connected societies yet misunderstanding, exclusion and discrimination continue to push identity and culture-based grievances towards conflict and violence, challenging the very foundations of sustainable and inclusive development.This report represents a first step in the UNESCO-IEP joint initiative to strengthen the evidence-base on dialogue for peace and development. Through mobilizing better data on effective dialogue, it is our sincere hope that policymakers and practitioners can better support meaningful and transformative dialogue, holistically supporting the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. Through this, we hope to elevate dialogue as a connecting enabler of all pillars of UN action, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and making good on the promise of ‘leaving no one behind’. Mesurer le dialogue interculturel: cadre conceptuel et technique Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace Les défis rencontrés pour tenir compte de la diversité croissante ont amplement démontré que cette vision était plus que jamais nécessaire. Nous avons tous beaucoup à gagner de sociétés plus ouvertes et plus connectées, mais l’incompréhension, l’exclusion et la discrimination continuent de nourrir les griefs identitaires et culturels conduisant au conflit et à la violence, en remettant en question les fondements mêmes du développement durable et inclusif.Ce rapport représente une première étape dans l’initiative conjointe UNESCO-IEP visant à renforcer la base de données factuelles sur le dialogue pour la paix et le développement. En favorisant la collecte de données de meilleure qualité sur un dialogue efficace, nous espérons sincèrement que les décideurs politiques et les spécialistes pourront mieux soutenir un dialogue constructif et transformateur, afin d’appuyer de manière globale les objectifs du Programme 2030. Ainsi, nous espérons faire du dialogue un élément essentiel commun à tous les piliers de l’action des Nations Unies, afin d’accélérer les progrès vers la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable et de la promesse de « ne laisser personne de côté ».
