Throughout its 5,000-year history of civilization, the Chinese are known for openness and inclusiveness and have made significant contributions to humanity. Since ancient times, the Chinese have continued to refresh and rejuvenate through exchanges and mutual appreciation with other civilizations. Building a diversified and colourful world today calls for dialogues among different cultures.
The IFF adheres to the concept of equality, mutual appreciation, dialogue and inclusiveness, understands with a broad mind the understanding of values of different civilizations, and respects the exploration of peoples' development paths. We believe exchange, mutual appreciation and co-existence of various cultures should replace civilization barriers, conflicts and superiority in the modern world. With this in mind, the IFF has established the Civilization Academy to promote dialogues among civilizations on an equal platform. We help to explore the values of cultures and put into practice the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind by organizing cultural exchange activities in the form of reading sessions, academic sessions, lectures and training sessions.
