THE ROLE OF UNESCO IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCIES AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUES
The article examines the cross-cultural interaction that has become natural in modern life, even in the most traditional societies. Cross-cultural competence has become an important resource that helps people cross cultural boundaries in personal communication and in business. Cross-cultural competence allows you to navigate difficult conditions, effectively and adequately interact with people of other cultures. The article also examines the long-term experience of UNESCO, an organization that works to enrich the content of cross-cultural competencies with the principles and values of human rights. This activity is expected to result in the development of a set of guidelines for the use of cross-cultural competencies in society and politics. The specific task of UNESCO as a specialized organization is to promote intercultural communication and solidarity in the fight against intolerance, stereotypes, discrimination and violence. This means that UNESCO values and expands human potential and opportunities for shared peaceful, free and equal life through cross-cultural competencies: education, culture, science, communication and information, which are transformative tools for human dignity, mutual trust and shared responsibility.
