Does Intercultural Dialogue matter?

Working on the book faced a break because of the participation in a seminar on "Iran and Media". I ll continue working on the book from tomorrow. 9.Hafis-Dialog was organized by the foundation of Konrad Adenauer. get more info here. The seminar was taken palace in Weimar. That is why I used the opportunity to make some photos from the Denkmal of Hafis-Goethe there. I am going to use the photo for the front page of the book.

For a long time I had no time and opportunity to write about the book project, here. Though I was active to manage relevant things for it. I am grateful to share here that Seyed Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran (1997-2005), send a foreword for my book. I have to of course translate the text to English. The text is very nice and poetic written in Farsi. I am really happy that he trusted me and lets his word comes at the beginning of the book.  his text is short and at the end of the text I see his presonal greetings to me, in his own handwriting. I hope the book reflects interesting points. then that would be a good combination of analysis on dialogue and words of somebody who tried to extend the dialogue culture in the Iranian society a decade ago.  Thanks to Miss. Sadr for her strong and uninterrupted supports...
