Details

The aim of the conference is to discuss the relationship between
traditional values and cultural identity in the rapid present day
global changes. Since cultural and spiritual traditions are vital for
preserving the personal and the communitarian identity, it is
necessary to reach the authentic meaning of tradition in a cultural
context. The values are connected with specific cultural realities
and moreover are dynamic since they subject to the continuous
evolution of human society. On the other hand, as traditions are
under the impact of changing and dynamic values, their preservation
is an active and creative process.

The main topics of discussion will be:

- The actual understanding of values and identity in various
  cultural perspectives, regarding the fact that there are some time
  sensitive differences in approaching them.
- Defining the role of spirituality in the world of today.
- As we celebrate 25 years from the fall of Berlin Wall, an analysis
  of what happened since then in Europe and World regarding the
  assuming of cultural values and spiritual traditions.
