About the Event
On 6th of May, the Intercultural Dialogue Platform will start its series of movies dedicated to social inclusion with the famous movie directed by Clint Eastwood “Gran Torino”. Besides being a fundamental movie of the XXI century, it sheds the light as much on topical issues as on universal themes which touch the core strings of our sensitivity (the relationship with the other, the sense of humanity and the feeling of love conceived as sacrifice). The movie will be screened by using the platforms of Zoom and Netflix.
This cine club is an opportunity to live a collective experience which allows us to dialogue about the values conveyed by the movie, the co-existence between people with a different ethnic or cultural background by sharing our personal experiences and reflections on such themes.
The event is part of Inclusive Europe, a project which aims to facilitate the process of inclusion of newly arrived people in host societies by involving local communities and promoting mutual understanding between newcomers and locals. The Inclusive Europe project has a total of eight partners from six European countries: Belgium, Italy, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and Hungary.
