Context of the Competition
The European Union has undergone major changes in the past few years due to successive enlargements, greater mobility and increased interactions between cultures, religions, ethnic groups and languages. Responding to such changes by promoting an effective and respectful exchange between people with different cultural backgrounds constitutes a priority for Socialists and Social Democrats in the Committee of the Regions (CoR). To this effect, the PES Group in the CoR have decided to organise a Photography Competition, focusing on Intercultural Dialogue in the EU. The theme of the Competition falls within the scope of the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. The competition is organised within the framework of the “Europe Works” project, carried out by Agence VU’ and the European think tank Notre Europe.
