Our Shared Europe is the British Council’s response to some of the major cultural challenges facing our continent today. It acts to create opportunities to discuss and share a variety of perspectives on integration, migration, diversity and pluralism in European society today.
Our Shared Europe seeks to explore our shared values, perspectives and behaviours in a way that is based on mutual respect and trust. In particular it is about how to acknowledge the contribution of a diverse set of communities and cultures – both in the past but also in the present – to the shaping of contemporary European society. This means recognising the rich and diverse roots of our culture and society and using this recognition to build a more inclusive view of the continent that we all share.
Building on its successful work of the last year, Our Shared Europe will create spaces for open and unprejudiced dialogue around the increasingly important cross-community issues within Europe today. This will include dialogue based events, widening participation and public engagement based activities and network development to connect wider publics, policy makers, opinion formers and thought leaders across Europe and worldwide.
