The INTERNATIONAL CENTER ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS – ICAC
is a foundation dedicated to fostering respect and tolerance among people, embracing the diversity of their beliefs, personalities, and languages.
Its core mission is to counteract harmful divisions, polarization, and extremism prevalent within societies and among them.

02
Advocating for a culture of peace:
The foundation firmly believes in the idea that differences within and between societies should not be feared or suppressed but cherished as a valuable resource for humanity. By promoting a culture of peace, it encourages societies to embrace diversity and work towards peaceful coexistence.
03
Fostering collective societal, religious, civil, and political will:
The foundation aims to create a sense of collective commitment to enhancing intercultural understanding and cooperation.
