The KAICIID Talking Dialogue Project examines the major interreligious and intercultural encounters in modern history – from the 1893 Parliament of the World’s Religions to the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in 2000. By using different and new source materials, the project looks at discussions that were not recorded in official chronicles. The resulting analyses add new perspectives to our present-day understanding, highlighting best practices and identifying repeated mistakes. The research was carried out by a group of young scholars from around the world, brought together by KAICIID in 2014.

The Peace Mapping Project is one of the central activities of the Vienna-based International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID). This session will introduce you to the various tools inside the KAICIID Peace Map website, to better understand interreligious dialogue and its potential for networking among dialogue practitioners and peace activists, among other users. In addition, it will present some findings of the Peace Mapping Programme, e.g. looking at the sheer number of organizations that are presently doing interreligious dialogue on an international scale, their commitment to peacebuilding and conflict resolution, as well as their relations to religious traditions.
