Testimonials

The study of comparative civilisations is particularly important in the field of humanities today. It not only highlights the dynamics of exchange and reciprocal influences between societies but also allows us to move beyond a fragmented and sometimes partial view of history. Being a member of CCF is part of this challenging endeavour, bringing together past and present cultures, meeting to discuss various interdisciplinary topics and publishing academic research papers.
