Intercultural Cities Conference - Liverpool, 1-3 May 2008 01-05-2008 Introduction The 'Intercultural Cities Conference' will take a fresh look at how, in a
world of increasing mobility, people from different cultures cannot only live
together, but make diversity the engine that drives the prosperity of their
cities. The conference is part of the UK's celebration of the European Year of
Intercultural Dialogue and with this in mind it aims to be highly interactive.
Description
A host of European and International speakers have been confirmed for the
event, such as globalisation guru Saskia Sassen, New York Times writer Gregg
Pascal Zachary, the world authority on on cultural diversity and city planning
Leonie Sandercock, Lord Bhikhu Parekh who says it is time to rethink
multiculturalism and Keith Khan, Head of Culture for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The conference format will take a break from the norm and there will be the
opportunity for delegates to get out into Liverpool to see some examples of
intercultural dialogue. There are also some optional activities to choose from
including dinner at Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club, which will
feature comedian Shazia Mirza.
