Intercultural Cities conference in May

As part of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008, the Intercultural Cities Conference will closely look at migration, diversity and urban life in the European Union. The conference will not only provide an opportunity for international city leaders and experts to look at how different cultures can live together but how this cultural diversity can turn to economic, social and cultural advantage and growth. New thinking is needed on how diverse communities can co-operate in productive harmony instead of leading parallel or antagonistic lives. The three day program, 1-3 May 2008, will take place in Liverpool. The conference will feature leading speakers from across Europe, the US, Canada and Australia, who will bring examples of how being intercultural works and can lead to social, cultural and economic advantages.
The conference aims to engage and inspire everyone interested in the intercultural city, particularly those responsible for planning and regeneration, local economy, community cohesion, education and cultural services. For further information, please visit http://inter.culture.info/icc/programme
