The present edition of Redefining Community in Intercultural Context Conference will focus mainly on the need for societal resilience, under the special circumstances of the omnipresence of virtual aggression on the understanding of security context and of threats to security. The important changes in the new international security context and the shift to defeating the oponent’s will to resist or to fight - in fact, the ultimate goal of every war - determine the consideration of the concept of Cognitive Warfare (CogWar) as a form of confrontation, with effects on redefining community and on alteration of its will, understanding and capability to act appropriately.
MAIN GOAL
The main goal is an exchange of experience between professors, researchers and practitioners in the field of community dynamics, especially in the area of intercultural dialogue and military best practices. Moreover, we look forward to putting into practice the new ideas that will result from the cross-fertilization of teaching activities and scientific research. Our end-goal is to improve the quality of education and, consequently, of personal and intellectual development. Last but not least, we are eager to disseminate the results of our multicultural dialogue within the academic community and beyond it.
PARTICIPANTS
We welcome the participation of professors, researchers, PhD students, MA students.
