Event background
Together in diversity, 6-7 November 2008, Dublin, Ireland
Conference organised by the Combat Poverty Agency (Dublin) with a number of partners including Eurofound.
Venue: Dublin Castle
Background
Over the past 50 years, cultural diversity inside and between EU Member States has created opportunities and challenges unimaginable by the original signatories of the first European Treaty. Issues such as migration, poverty, social inclusion and human rights are transforming both urban and rural social contexts.
Objectives
The event will:
Use the theme of intercultural dialogue to explore contemporary migration and poverty within the EU
Explore the role of community development in this context
Promote the role of community development in challenging racism and in shaping an intercultural and equal society
Include a focus on poverty and social inclusion among migrants and ethnic and indigenous communities within the EU
Share experiences and network with others working on intercultural and community development issues across the EU.
A range of Irish and European bodies concerned with community development and interculturalism issues have come together to create a two-day European conference to reflect on these questions. The conference marks 2008 as the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue and features international and Irish speakers, field visits and opportunity for discussion.
