The International Congress for the Protection of the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens SHIELD is interested in cultural diversity and rapprochement between different peoples. It is keen to strengthen the universal language of dialogue between all cultures and to preserve the human heritage and comprehensiveness in knowledge and equality through the establishment of charitable, humanitarian, cultural, and artistic activities, exhibitions, supporting creators, reviving the legacy of different peoples and nations, and promoting meetings. International seminars and conferences aimed at serving and advancing humanity.
Cultural exchange allows one to explore other cultures, traditions, customs, beliefs, societies, languages, etc. Hence, such opportunities make you look at the world from a different perspective, as if they give you new eyes through which to see the world, and this is what provides a person with alternative points of view, expands his horizons, and increases his tendency to accept others.
Cultural diversity constitutes a driving force for development, not only at the level of economic growth but also as a means of living a more complete intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual life, as stipulated in the international instruments regulating the field of cultural heritage, which provide a solid foundation for promoting cultural diversity. Hence, cultural diversity is a necessary advantage for reducing poverty and achieving sustainable development. At the same time, accepting and acknowledging cultural diversity – through the creative use of media, information, and communications technology – contributes to creating a dialogue between civilizations and cultures and achieving mutual respect and understanding.”
