The Transatlantic Dialogue, or TAD, conference series is focused on global citizens, exploring the significance of culture and liberal education on fostering global citizenship from both US and European perspectives.
Organized by the University of Luxembourg since 2008, the TAD project examines the role of cultural and liberal education in developing educators and students: those who think broadly, those who recognize and respect cultural diversity and heritage, and those whose engagement in the arts serves as a conduit for personal authenticity, innovation, and inclusion.
