European Alliances to promote interculturality
Helen PICHON (CEPS), Head of the ad hoc working group, addressed the question of the meaning of the European complex identity in the space of the Council of Europe, where it is supported by the promotion of human rights, including the right to culture, interculturalism and multiculturalism. The working group proposes the creation of European Alliances, European cultural centers where the cultures and languages of the countries of Europe would be taught and shared.
