The Interarts Foundation and the Spanish Ministry of Culture are organising an event entitled Confluences - International Conference on Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue, which will be held in Panticosa (Huesca, Spain), on 23-25 July, in the framework of the Pirineos Sur music festival. An official event of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, Confluences is also supported by the European Commission, the Regional Government of Aragón and the Provincial Council of Huesca (Diputación Provincial).

Confluences' programme combines a series of testimonials, discussions on cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue and presentations of relevant artistic initiatives. A range of issues including intercultural dialogue in everyday life, its effects on creativity, its implications for public authorities and the place of diversity in the media will be analysed. Contributions from well-known personalities, as well as relevant small-scale initiatives which provide new perspectives on diversity and intercultural dialogue have been included in the programme. Sessions will be held in Spanish, English and French.

The event is aimed at students, professionals and any other intereste members of the public. Registration opens on 5 June. Interarts will provide a list of accommodations in the area, which will be available on this web site. You will find a provisional programme below. For further information, contact icd@interarts.net.
