2008. aasta on Euroopa kultuuridevahelise dialoogi aasta, mille kandvaks ideeks on, et Euroopa kultuuriline mitmekesisus on haruldus ja väärtus. Euroopa Liidu laienemise ja globaliseerumise tagajärjel on Euroopa muutumas kultuuriliselt üha mitmekesisemaks, tuues kokku erinevaid keeli, religioone, etnilisi ja kultuurilisi taustu. Sellest tulenevalt mängib kultuuridevaheline dialoog suurt rolli ka Euroopa identiteedi ja kodanikuks olemise juures. Temaatilise aasta kaudu soovitakse julgustada eurooplasi enam uurima suure kultuurilise pärandi võimalusi ja eeliseid. Käesolevaga kutsume üles osalema Euroopa kultuuridevahelise dialoogi aasta raames toimuval põneval fotokonkursil “Cultures on my street”!
Julget pealehakkamist soovides, Euroopa Noored Eesti büroo
