Conference New Perspectives for Intercultural Dialogue in Europe
The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008) has aroused great interest in the 27 Member States of the European Union. It has allowed ideas to be examined in greater depth, and fosters a strong wave of initiatives and actions by the public authorities, professional networks and civil society in a number of areas: culture and communication, education and training, social cohesion, and relations with third-party countries.
The conference "New Perspectives for Intercultural Dialogue in Europe" is the high point of the year. It should demonstrate the wealth of projects conducted and capitalise on relevant achievements. It is also an opportunity for discussion and to put the lessons learned from the actions into in order to promote intercultural dialogue in the public policies of the European Union as well as in the policies of the Member States and territorial communities in the long term.
