Globethics.net India and Journal of Dharma jointly organised three seminars in Goa, Thrissur and Bangalore in collaboration with institutes of higher education in India. The spirit of dialogue was an attitude of respect and friendship that permeates different forms of life. The survival and wellbeing of human society and the universe depend on human co-reflection, dialogue and co-operation. Nurturing dialogue in all the fields of thoughts, action and life is necessary for promoting peace and harmony in contemporary society, marked by political, ethnic, and religious conflicts. Often it is the absence and abuse of dialogue that pave way for fundamentalism, dictatorship and conflicts among individuals and groups.

 

A one-day National Seminar on  ‘Nurturing Dialogue: Forms, Persons, and Institutions' was organized by Carmel College of Arts, Science and Commerce for Women, Nuvem-Goa, and Gyanadhara Institute of Philosophy, Orlim–Goa, at Carmel College for Women, Nuvem, Goa on 4 March 2017.
