European Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008

The European Commission has declared 2008 the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. SALTO is supporting this in many ways.

Issue 13 of Coyote, the magazine of the Youth partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Commission is dedicated to the theme of Intercultural Dialogue. Monica Urian de Sousa describes in her article the institutional perspective of the European Commission on ICD and the importance for making 2008 the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.

Fur further information on the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue we would like to recommend the official website:www.interculturaldialogue2008.eu

 

Intercultural Dialogue Seminar

In February the SALTO Cultural Diversity Resource Centre organised in cooperation with the Turkish National Agency of the YiA Programme a Seminar looking at the concepts and skills related to Intercultural Dialogue. Within the next months the publication of an Intercultural dialogue leaflet is planned. For more information on this Training Course please click here.

 

'Roma Youth Round Table'

After having been approached by the Hungarian National Agency of the 'Youth in Action' programme and the Forum of European Roma Young People the SALTO Cultural Diversity Resource Centre decided to develop a project specifically designed for Roma youth during the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. For more information on this project please click here.

 

New approaches in culture and the important means of communication between people in Europe and the follow-up of the ongoing European Year of Intercultural Dialogue implies that also during the coming European Year of Creativity and Innovation in 2009 the issue of Intercultural Dialogue will receive due attention. Moreover Cultural Diversity is one of the four priorities of the Youth in Action programme that runs from 2007 till 2013.
