CINGO
In the context of each session of the Conference of INGOs, representatives from Christian international NGOs at the Council of Europe come together for an informal meeting in which also the Andante representatives took part. The group is currently in the last phase of producing a website and a CD on the so-called ‘White Book’ on intercultural dialogue. With the CD the CINGO aims at producing a tool that can be used for developing a real intercultural dialogue in Churches, parishes, faith communities, organisations. “The CINGO encourage all churches and communities to think about the objectives and structures of their dialogue and to share their thought among themselves so as to bring the Churches’ work, their needs and their views into the arena of public European debate.” For more information: http://www.cingo-strasbourg.eu
