Global perspectives juxtaposed with local contexts were the theme of an international conference on intercultural studies. The conference was held at the UO Collegium Maius from 18 to 20 September 2024.
The programme for this three-day event included eleven onsite and twelve online sessions. In the international line-up, panellists from Poland made up just one tenth of the total. Not without reason, the conference slogan was ‘Intercultural encounters: global perspectives-local contexts’.
The conference of IAICS, the International Association for the Study of Intercultural Communication, was held in Opole for the first time. Last year’s edition was held in China, and next year’s is scheduled for Brazil. The event was organised by the Faculty of Philology and the Faculty of Political Science and Social Communication together with the IAICS.
The conference began on 18 September (Wednesday) at 10.00 a.m., and was opened by the UO Rector, Professor Jacek Lipok and IAICS President, Lixian Jin. The conference, attended by 100 participants, was combined with another science-focused event, the Immersive Week, which run from 16 to 20 September. It was be held under the auspices of the FORTHEM Alliance.
