Profile

Here at the Centre for Dialogue and Cooperation among Civilisations (CDCC).

The Centre for Dialogue and Cooperation among Civilisations (CDCC) is an international civil society organisation, founded in June 2007 by scholars and activist of wide-ranging backgrounds. The purpose of the Centre is to serve dialogue and cooperation among civilisations at large. Among its main objectives are: promoting awareness of social, economic, political, cultural, and philosophical thoughts, highlighting the human intellectual contribution and its impact on human civilisation and deepening the dialogue and fostering cooperation among various schools of civilisations. CDCC strives to provide advice and assistance to governments, organisations and individual decision-makers regarding the urgency of dialogue and cooperation among civilisations as models for building resolution for political, social, economic, cultural, security, and environmental problems.

Vision

Empowering communities today to build a more compassionate and peaceful tomorrow.

CDCC views diversity not as a threat, but as an opportunity and a source of richness. Differences are an integral part of human life that can be nurtured to build a peaceful world. This perspective rejects the notion that the Muslim and Western worlds are destined for inevitable clashes. Instead, CDCC encourages the acceptance of differences without promoting extreme views that perpetuate conflict. CDCC believes that efforts to bridge the divide among communities, nations, and civilizations will fail without the participation, dialogue, and cooperation of the international community. Therefore, a global movement is required to promote dialogue, broader understanding, and mutual respect among cultures and civilizations.
