We
believe in diversity as a force for democracy and encourage dialogue as a means of building peace.
Our vision reflects the values of a democratic, dynamic, integrated and creative European society.
We strive towards a Europe where the diversity of cultures, the arts, and cultural and natural heritage are essential to the development of a genuine openness of mind and basic rights, and where open and interactive processes and practices of culture encompass different elements that combine to help us deal with the complexities of living with ourselves and one another.
