In the ideological battlefield, cultural diversity is often used as an instrument of political struggle which has degenerated in open xenophobia, populism and different forms of extremism, converting certain communities or cultures in a target. This trend has to be challenged, together with intellectuals, writers and leading figures who contribute to shape public opinions in the region.

The objective of this field is to make the point on the difficulties of the Barcelona Process, on how to reverse that trend, to win the intellectual support of publicly exposed characters, and to establish common initiatives such as awareness raising campaigns, coordinated reactions to social and cultural crises, testimonials in ALF activities addressed to Network members.

The involvement of prominent and committed figures of the intelligentsia of the Euro-Med space must help the Foundation in identifying the obstacles which must be removed to open a real dialogue on issues such as immigration and xenophobia, inter-religious prejudices, primacy of human rights, or freedom of expression and critical thinking.
