The 2012 Cultural Bridges in Germany Conference
“Multiculturalism, the 2012 Global Debate: Strengthening Intercultural Relations”
(Berlin, November 7th – 9th, 2012; Held parallel to the 23rd Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall)
The process of globalization is consistently increasing the speed of the development of multicultural societies, and multiculturalism itself is becoming the way of the contemporary world. As a prominent example, contemporary Germany consists of a diverse multicultural landscape of individuals whose origins stem from every continent of the world. Many countries such as France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, the UK, USA, Australia, Canada and other countries are constantly engaging with active multiculturalism policies which are continually being amended and reinvented.
The 2012 Cultural Bridges in Germany Conference will offer a wide diversity of perspectives on the issue of intercultural relations internationally with particular focus on Germany. The Conference will create and provide a proposal document that will be presented to the international community on how to overcome the challenges in the process of multiculturalism, and will offer best practices to achieve a successful and harmonic multicultural society. In additional the conference will examine different examples and best practices of Cultural Diplomacy that might be applied in different contexts.
