Meet Me in Diversity
International Conference on Intercultural Dialogue
Monday 27 - Thursday 30
October Maribor, Slovenia
The conference will be dealing with the issues of a multicultural society and
dialogue. On a reality level, the term multicultural Europe refers to the
everyday situations in which people of different backgrounds come together and
interact in schools, at workplaces, at various conferences or in football
stadiums.
During the conference, we will focus on Culture and the Media, Migration and
Youth. These three topics are also the major topics of The European Year of
Intercultural Dialogue 2008.
Within the multicultural environment the
participants will share their opinions, experiences and knowledge in
intercultural dialogue, gain new friendships and get to know new
cultures.
Meet Me in Diversity aims to bring youth from all EU Member States
and Candidate countries together to raise awareness and knowledge about the
intercultural dialogue.
Participants will be young people aged 18-29 years old from EU member states
and candidate countries. There is no participation fee. The organizers will
provide you accommodation, meals, lectures and social activities. The working
language will be English.
The conference is organized by Europe Direct Maribor, relay of the European
Commission information network in cooperation with the Student Organization of
University of Maribor.
