The Report of the High-level Group of the Alliance of Civilizations was presented to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and to Prime Ministers José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the final meeting of the High-level Group. The report comes at the end of a year-long process in which the Group had three main meetings – in Palma de Mallorca, Doha, and Dakar – as well as a working session in New York. The Report puts forward a range of concrete proposals in the areas of education, media, youth and migration to build bridges and promote a culture of respect and understanding among Western and Muslim communities. The High-level Group – a panel of 20 world renowned experts was appointed by Secretary-General Annan a year ago to explore ways of addressing the increasing polarization between Muslim and Western societies.
