The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue This program is closed The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008) was established by the decision of the European Parliament and of the Council. Europe is becoming more culturally diverse. The enlargement of the European Union, deregulation of employment laws and globalisation have increased the multicultural character of many countries, adding to the number of languages, religions, ethnic and cultural backgrounds found on the continent. As a result, intercultural dialogue has an increasingly important role to play in fostering European identity and citizenship.
