Fostering Participation through Education and Cultural Exchange conference This conference on education, culture and citizenship will be held in Barcelona on 2-3 June, in the framework of the FORTE project funded by the European Commission. The event, proposing presentations of case studies and round tables, will cover issues such as the contribution of cultural practice to learning methods, the involvement of young people in social and political participation processes, cultural diversity in European cities and teacher training. Coordinated by Interarts, the project brings together four pioneering partner organisations from Germany, Lithuania, Spain and the UK, which work with cultural tradition, experimentation and exchange to make learning attractive for young people and allow them to develop new skills and participate actively in society. The event, as well as the project website proposing a good practice database, may be of interest for those SEE organisations developing projects with similar profile.
