Forum Skopje - A Soul for Europe, 4-6 April 2008
Start: 09:30
Admission: Free

Location: Crystal Hall, Macedonian Parliament, Skopje, Macedonia.


Felix Meritis is once more engaged in co-producing a Forum, this time in
the city of Skopje under the initiative A Soul for Europe and in
cooperation with the local partners Public Room and European Alliance
Macedonia.

Following the successful experience of previous Forums in Belgrade (March
2007), Tbilisi (October 2007) and Pécs (November 2007) the co-producers
aim to develop a tangible culture of democracy. The objective is to
stimulate a long-term and sustainable dialogue between civil society and
policymakers as well as to emphasise the role of culture in the
development of Europe with a particular focus on South-Eastern Europe.

The agenda of Forum Skopje will include topics such as: the relationship
between civil society, policymakers and the administrative sector in
regional cooperation, the European responsibility and challenges of cities
and regions, the contribution that culture could make towards developing
cities and ensuring successful regional development; trends and politics
in cultural diversity, social cohesion and other topics.

Various European politicians and civil society actors, in particular the
young generations, have been invited to discuss these fundamental issues
with the local actors. Among others, Forum Skopje will include: Ljubisa
Georgievski, President of the Macedonian Parliament; Michael Zeeman,
journalist, essayist, poet, Alojz Peterle and Doris Pack, Members of the
European Parliament; Erwan Fouéré, Special representative of the European
Commission in Macedonia;  Elisabeta Kancevska Milevska, State Secretary of
the Ministry of Culture in Macedonia; Milena Dragicevic Šešic, Professor
at the Faculty of Arts, Belgrade University and Special Advisor to the
Minister of Culture of Serbia; Erhard Busek, Special Coordinator of the
Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe; Anna Athanasopolou, European
Commission's Executive Agency for Education and Culture; Violeta
Simjanovska, Pak Multimedia Skopje and Steve Austen, Permanent Fellow
