The panel discussion will zero in on consolidating intercultural dialog around the topic of heritage. Experts will ponder on what principles an equal dialogue of cultures can be banked on today, and what part the professional historical community is supposed to play in it. Under what conditions does the historical heritage weld peoples, and what conditions, on the contrary, keep them from agreement and unity? What approaches can be used as the basis for alternative institutions to Western ones to ensure control over world heritage sites?
Moderator: Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Co-Chair of the Russian Historical Society.
