Our modern world, through advances in technology and information, has made individuals and societies more interconnected. Despite the abundant availability of information and knowledge, adequate wisdom is still needed to help humanity confront major challenges, address social ailments, and build a more just society. The Intercultural Dialogues, hosted by the Center for Cultural Engagement (CCE) and other partners, seeks to bring together voices, stories and minds that can help students at Catholic University of America gain the wisdom necessary to assist in the advancement of the common good.
