The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in the EU
“Sustainable Economic Growth, Further Integration and Common Identity: Moving towards a European Consensus”
(Brussels; July 3rd - 5th, 2013)

Since its foundation the EU has undergone multiple transformations in the socio-cultural, political, and economic spheres. Today, the European Union consists of 27 member states, all of which work closely together to develop policies to facilitate common interests such as the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital across borders.

Although the EU has made great strides in the past six decades- both politically and economically- the region still faces challenges in terms of delivering prosperity, bridging the gap between institutions and citizens, and creating a common and collective “European Identity.” Over four years of economic, social and political crisis have presented the EU, its leaders, and its people with a number of crucial challenges, which must be thoroughly and instantly tackled in order for Europe to be successful and to maintain its leading position in the global arena.

The International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in the EU will therefore offer participants a platform to discuss the present and future challenges of the European Union, and will elaborate on the role of Cultural Diplomacy in improving European relations, enhancing cross-cultural collaboration, building democratic governance, and sustaining peace and stability in the region.

Conference Location
Based in Brussels, the Conference will be hosted at a number of important political, historic, and cultural locations across the city, and will consist of excursions to the country's top institutions and landmarks. Featured locations during the Conference will include: European Parliament, in addition to various foreign embassies and governmental institutions.

abbeybanks: Lets look at it from this perspective; PDP accused the ACN of embezzling UBE FundS, weeks latter the COE was sacked. My guess is that maybe some vital document was targeted in the inferno in-order not to implicate some 'saints'. Dunno maybe 'My Oga @ the top' have a contrary view.

Use your brain buddy.Someone just told you that the place that got burnt housed educational records and you are talking about missing fund.Is your brain missing any part of the below sir ?

• Most of the buliding that got burnt were those that have the educational records.
•JSS3 certificate. Examination Questions papers for exam that was suppose to start 2day got burnt.

GEJ needs to do something about this our fire service unit. It is one sector that has been neglected for so many years. Even the commandants of fire service are not well paid in this country.

drsolob: Oshio baba should be heard responsible he was the one dat baned okada yesterday and today the ministry of education is on fire.i think the okada men should have burnt the state house or house of assemble instead.

u mean held?
