30 April Training | The Azerbaijani Model of Intercultural Dialogue

11:00 - 11:15 | Introduction and Project Overview

Welcome and introductions. Overview of the trainer and the project "The Azerbaijani Model of Intercultural Dialogue: Awareness-Raising and the Creation of New Tools" — its objectives, scope, and expected outcomes.

11:15 - 11:35 | The Culture Iceberg

An interactive exploration of visible and invisible cultural elements. Using a flipchart iceberg model, participants identify and discuss the root causes of cultural misunderstanding.

11:35 - 11:50 | Introduction to Intercultural Dialogue

Key concepts of intercultural dialogue are introduced. Group discussion covers: what intercultural dialogue means, why it matters in diverse societies, and what challenges can arise between cultures. Core ideas — respect, listening, cooperation, and mutual understanding — are summarized.

11:50 - 12:30 | The Azerbaijani Model of Multiculturalism

A presentation on Azerbaijan's multicultural heritage, its historical role as a meeting point between Europe and Asia, and its international dialogue initiatives — including the Baku Process and the World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue.

12:30 - 13:00 | Step Forward Exercise

An experiential activity designed to help participants understand inequality and privilege. Participants are assigned role cards and respond to a series of statements, reflecting on the disparities they observe. Discussion connects the activity to the importance of dialogue and inclusion.

13:00 - 13:15 | Break

13:15 - 13:35 | Case Study Work

Participants are divided into small groups of four to five. Each group discusses a case study related to religious coexistence, cultural diversity, or minority rights, then presents their findings and proposed dialogue-based solutions.

13:35 - 13:50 | Role Play

Practical application of intercultural dialogue skills. Groups are given scenarios — a misunderstanding between students from different cultures, workplace discrimination, or a conflict during a community event — and practice communication strategies for resolution.

13:50 - 14:00 | Closing

Participants share one thing they learned, one thing that surprised them, and one action they will take to promote intercultural dialogue in their own community. Responses are written on sticky notes and shared with the group.
