Integration and cultural diversity are at the core components of how Europeans see themselves. They are the guiding principles of a multi-faceted process that is driving Europe toward political unity while at the same time maintaining the continent’s diverse languages and cultures.
They are the basis upon which a dialogue between these various cultures can thrive, and upon which all people who have made Europe the centre of their lives can co-exist peacefully, regardless of their national or ethnic heritage. Due to globalisation and regional conflicts, there is an on-going wave of migration toward Europe. The tension between these forces presents European society with a tremendous challenge. It is not only a matter of the peaceful co-existence of people of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds, but rather of their active participation in the process of building a common European community in an increasingly globalised world.
