NEWSWorld Summit Karlstad 2010 in Madrid
The World Summit Karlstad 2010 was invited by United Nations initiative Alliance of Civilizations, and Per Lundgren moderated the top meeting with media literacy education expertice from all over the world. A group of founders took the first step and founded an online clearinghouse for media literacy education.
The AoC seeks to develop a series of online clearinghouses focusing on AoC’s main areas of implementation: youth, education, media and migration. These web-based clearinghouses will feature best practices, materials, and resources on cross-cultural dialogue and cooperation. The Madrid meeting was attended by the United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon.

Short background
The Alliance of Civilizations (AoC) aims to improve understanding and cooperative relations among nations and peoples across cultures and religions and, in the process, to help counter the forces that fuel polarization and extremism.
It was established in 2005, at the initiative of the Governments of Spain and Turkey, under the auspices of the United Nations. In April 2007, the United Nations Secretary-General appointed Jorge Sampaio, former President of Portugal, as High Representative for the Alliance. The AoC is supported by a Group of Friends – a community of over 80 member countries and international organizations and bodies.
Working in partnership with governments, international and regional organizations, civil society groups, foundations, and the private sector, the Alliance is supporting a range of projects and initiatives aimed at building bridges among a diversity of cultures and communities. It is developing an online clearinghouse of best practices, materials and resources on cross-cultural dialogue and cooperation projects as well as a Rapid Response Media Mechanism to provide platforms for constructive debate and opinion during times of increased tensions around cross-cultural issues.
