2. Highlight the new multicultural challenges facing European societies.

3. Identify best practice in NGO work in the field of intercultural dialogue in order to launch the development of a Toolkit for the practice of intercultural dialogue so as to address the new challenges.

Participants

100 participants, including around 20 Turkish NGOs, 30 international NGOs, 30 national NGOs from South-East Europe and 20 experts.



Forum structure

The Forum themes will be dealt with from the angle of civil society’s contribution to the work of the Council of Europe.

The plenary sessions will place the Forum discussions in the context of the Council of Europe’s achievements and activities, as well as topical developments in Europe. The workshops will focus on the NGOs’ practical experience and exchanges of that experience.

The White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue and the new multicultural challenges facing European societies, as well as the youth dimension, will be dealt with transversally by each of the workshops.
