- Title
DEVELOPING AN INTERCULTURAL VALUE-BASED DIALOGUE.

- Abstract
Peaceful co-existence and inclusion do not depend solely on the availability of goods and welfare systems, but primarily on shared cultural values. In order to build shared values, we propose a new concept, the worthy, as the pull-factor of the value. A value-based dialogue begins from making each ones' worthies 'speak to each other' so each actor can enter into Alter's point of view to gain, afterward, a sharing of values. Beginning from the worthy, we outline the path of an innovative integrative model: safeguard some features of the 'diversity' (multiculturalism) and to build some 'resemblances' (interculturality). By this resemblances/differences trade-off both migrants, ethnic groups and autochthonous absorb something of Alter's believes and values, and at the same time gain awareness about complementarity and interdependency with Alter, the core of an otherness mind and the requirement to manage conflicts. By this way, each actor embraces a wider and wider network of Alter (linking bonds) without losing his own identity and belonging. Finally, this paper suggests operative ways involving, as game-changers of a 'feasible' society, school and social services from one side, and local, political entities and the civil society, from the other side (deliberative democracy).
