There are countless questions and answers about integration and diversity. But what are the facts, myths and fantasies? British Council and IMDi have gathered the best minds from the USA, UK and Norway to debate the issue for almost 2 days.
Leading theorists, practitioners and politicians will gather in Oslo for two days of vigorous debate on the most important topic today: how we live together in our progressively diverse societies.
The Diversity Debate will focus on the legacy of past policies and contemporary policies, practices and contexts. From the current state of fiscal turmoil, recent violent events in Norway and the UK, and real and imagined community tensions, The Debate will provide breadth, depth and valuable insight into diversity issues. It will also address critical questions of how new, useful, narratives may be developed that relate to our pluralistic communities. The working language will be English.
