About LTIC Forum LTIC Forum 2023

The aim of this year’s forum is to explore how changes to spaces have impacted on intercultural communication. For example, the stadiums used to host the World Cup in Qatar were a vessel to stimulate new attitudes towards and dialogues with the entire region.

Also, the forum aims to explore how revisions to stories, which either directly relate to changing spaces or merely coincide with them, have impacted on intercultural communication. For example, the war in Ukraine has altered narratives concerning refugees and thus improved intercultural communication with refugees from other regions.
