The Anna Lindh Foundation participated in the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations forum in Rio de Janeiro on the 27th May 2010 with a specific presentation of the Anna Lindh Report 2010.

The session has been an opportunity to have a first insight into the methodology developed by the Anna Lindh Foundation and partners for the Report, as well as exploring its international implications in terms of application of such a study in other regions world-wide, with key questions for discussion including:

- Which indicators should be taken into consideration when measuring mutual perceptions and intercultural beahviours?

- What is the most appropriate methodology when studying mutual perceptions?

- What are the challenges of assessing value trends across different countries?

- How can the results this regional study be exploited at the global level?

-  What do you think that institutions such as the Anna Lindh Foundation or Alliance of Civilisations could do for the improvement of mutual perceptions?

Speakers included André Azoulay, President of the Anna Lindh Foundation, founding member of the High-Level of the UN Alliance of Civilisations and Counselor to the King of Morocco; Dalia Mogahed, Senior Analyst and Executive Director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies; and Mohamed Tozy, Professor of Political Science at the University Hassan-II of Casablanca in Morocco and the University of Aix en Province in France.
