This the final event in this high-level series of public seminars designed to encourage UK debate on the challenges facing culture in an enlarged Europe. The series is organised by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) UK Committee in conjunction with the European Programme at Chatham House and International Intelligence on Culture.
The panel of speakers includes Dr. Garret FitzGerald, former Prime Minister of Ireland, Ion Caramitru, the Romanian Shakespearean actor and former Minister of Culture, Ambassador Delfin Colomé, Spanish composer, writer and former Director of the Asia-Europe Foundation, John Tusa, Director of London’s Barbican Centre, Patricia Quinn, former Director, Arts Council, Ireland, and Prakash Daswani, Director of Cultural Co-operation and Music Village. Gottfried Wagner, Director of the European Cultural Foundation and Lord Maclennan of Rogart, Chairman of the European Cultural Foundation’s UK Committee will also make contributions discussing recent activities of the ECF, the forthcoming UK Presidency of the EU and perspectives on the European Constitution. Simon Mundy, poet and former President of the European Forum for Arts and Heritage will be rapporteur. Other speakers will be confirmed.
In an enlarged European Union the limits of understanding of what being European means are been re-examined. On the borders of the EU we find new neighbours once seemingly distant and now brought into close proximity. In the past two years clear differences, if not outright rifts, between Europeans have come to light in how we perceive the world and in our hierarchy of values. Will these rifts become insurmountable? What cultural ‘problems’ will enlargement raise? How will the governance of culture be effected? What will be the response of local identities to the enlarged concept of ‘European-ness’? What impacts will these have on cultural co-operation?
