We believe that education is not merely a question of classroom instruction. For a child, it is important to learn how to listen to and interact with others. This is a skill that must be acquired and practiced on a daily basis. Social learning outside the classroom results in positive changes in classroom performance and all extra-curricular activities are planned with this goal in mind.

Intercultural Dialogue Institute aims to promote enduring interfaith and intercultural cooperation, tolerance and dialogue by sharing the differences and similarities in cultures in an effort to achieve global peace in the foreseeable future. The Institute aims to eliminate or reduce false stereotypes, prejudices and unjustified fears through direct human communication. By this mission IDI aims to contribute to improvement of diversity, pluralism and multiculturalism throughout Canada.

Intercultural Dialogue Institute (IDI) grew out of the need to address the question, “How can citizens of the world live in peace and harmony?” From this question a conversation took root and began to grow. The founding members of the IDI knew from personal experience that a discussion on cultural differences did not have to digress into confusion, fighting, and anarchy. On the contrary the founding members understood that peace could be achieved by sharing different perspectives by listening to each other from the space of love, respect, tolerance, mercy, and compassion.

Headquartered in Toronto, Intercultural Dialogue Institute currently has branch offices and sister organizations in nine cities throughout Canada. The people who initially thought about the necessity founded Intercultural Dialogue Institute were Turkish Canadians; however, our members increasingly come from diverse cultures, faiths and nations. Intercultural Dialogue Institute welcomes especially members and volunteers from diverse traditions, faiths, races and nations.

Les références initiales et les racines culturelles de l’IDI Montréal remontent au temps de la tradition soufie turque anatolienne. L’Anatolie, connue comme le berceau de 26 civilisations différentes, a été pendant des siècles le centre des échanges et du dialogue interculturel et interreligieux. La Turquie est aujourd’hui un lieu culturel unique et le point de rencontre qui relie l’Orient à l’Occident. L’IDI Montréal, à travers ses nombreuses activités, nous invite tous au dialogue afin de redécouvrir l’harmonie.

Notre Vision

•     Promouvoir et soutenir le dialogue, la compréhension et la tolérance entre les peuples de culture et de confession religieuse différentes.

•     Promouvoir la coopération interculturel et créer une culture de la paix au Québec.

•     Être un organisme de liaison entre les musulmans et les membres des autres confessions dans le but d’améliorer les interactions et de combler le «déficit de dialogue».

•     Organiser des activités et des projets de service de bienfaisance dans un esprit de collaboration pour privilégier un rapprochement entres les Québécois et Québécoises de tous les horizons spirituels.

•     Offrir un forum où toutes les religions abrahamiques et autres peuvent se rencontrer pour échanger et apprendre sur les autres et discuter de questions d’intérêt commun dans un esprit de compréhension et de respect mutuel.
