From these starts the dialogue. Why? But because these kids are the ones which feel much more than their elders what it means war. Because it’s not only the uprooting from their homes. Is the fact that the war and the consequences of blocking the future, destroy the hope, which we the Peoples of the West, with the responsibilities that bring about these wars, we need to restore”.
Mr. Pavlopoulos said that “the dialogue of cultures is the best way to deal with the war and defend the peace,” explaining that: “Because the dialogue of cultures helps before all not only to stop the wars, it helps to not have wars. Because when it explodes the war and from there the consequences are often irreversible, as is unfortunately happening today”
