In this section, readers will find information on the forum's dates and venue, the work of the organizing committee, cooperation with UNESCO, volunteer preparation efforts, and the forum's significance within the framework of the so-called "Baku Process."
The World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue is an international event dedicated to promoting dialogue between cultures, religions, and civilizations, and to strengthening mutual understanding among nations. The forum is held as part of the "Baku Process," an initiative launched by Azerbaijan that has become one of the country's hallmark projects in the field of international cultural diplomacy. Azerbaijan has previously hosted several editions of the forum, and the hosting of the seventh edition in Baku is regarded as a continuation of this tradition and a reaffirmation of the country's role as a platform for intercivilizational dialogue.
Preparations for the forum are being carried out with the direct involvement of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which holds interagency meetings devoted to the organizational, technical, and substantive aspects of the upcoming event. UNESCO has also been engaged in the preparatory process — in particular, presentation sessions dedicated to the forum have taken place at the organization's headquarters in Paris, contributing to its international promotion and drawing the attention of a wider audience. A separate area of preparation involves the recruitment and training of Azerbaijani volunteers, who will be involved in organizing the opening ceremony and supporting the event.
Materials collected under this tag may include news about working meetings and interagency sessions on forum preparations, reports on cooperation with UNESCO in promoting the event, publications on the forum's dates, venue, and agenda, coverage of volunteer activities, as well as background materials on previous forums held within the framework of the "Baku Process."
