A research seminar on Diversity-Human Rights-Participation was held at the European Youth Centre, Strasbourg from May 11 to May 13, 2006. 17 researchers from countries as far apart as Azerbaijan, India, Turkey, Cyprus, Romania and Denmark presented their work.
Papers tackled subjects such as Ethnography with Romas in Cyprus, Diversity and Equality in the case of affirmative action legislation, government policy on poverty as it affects Gypsies in Spain, the participation of second generation migrants in Greece, a critical analysis of intercultural learning methodology, the discourse of human rights in relation to the Kosovo refugee camps and much more.
The seminar was addressed by Dr Gavan Titley of the National University of Ireland who spoke on Resituating Culture/Situating Diversity and by Professor Costas Douzinas of Birkbeck College, London who gave a thought provoking and challenging lecture on The Ends of Human Rights. The final conclusions of the seminar were presented by Dr Dina Kiwan.
What will be the follow-up to the seminar?
