At the last Lisbon Forum, five hundred participants from eighty-five countries explored the role of intercultural dialogue in countering misinformation, disinformation and hate speech. 

As stressed at the time by the director of the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe, Ambassador Afonso Malheiro, “Whether online or offline, openness of mind, willingness to understand the other, awareness of the cultural and social differences that can only but enrich one’s viewpoint, efforts to reach out through an honest and meaningful dialogue, and also tolerance, respect and solidarity are the key elements that will bring us together in a common purpose of steering this world of ours to a future of peace, stability and sustainable shared prosperity for all.”
The way information is produced influences our state of mind and our perspectives on the world. Being aware of the mechanisms behind misinformation and hate speech helps us to develop our critical thinking in a continuous process.
