Project description
Pioneering intercultural dialogue for a diverse Europe
Europe's values of minority rights and cultural diversity face pressing challenges today. The rise of youth radicalisation, doubts about the meaning of the European project, and the resurgence of tribal identities and separatism prompt a fundamental reassessment of Europeanness as a culture of dialogue and mutual respect. In this context, the EU-funded CHIEF project seeks to forge an effective dialogue among diverse stakeholders, fostering a future Europe rooted in inclusive notions of cultural heritage and identity. Spanning nine countries within and outside the EU, this interdisciplinary, transnational initiative explores the influence of informal interactions on young Europeans' understanding of their cultural heritage. Ultimately, CHIEF empowers its beneficiaries and strengthens their capacity for innovation.
Objective
Today, the twinned ideas of respect towards minorities’ rights and cultural diversity that have been projected as values derived from the European historical experience are facing well-documented challenges. These include: the current radicalisation of young people in Europe; processes questioning the meaningfulness of the European project; and the revival of tribal identities and separatism. These processes give cause to fundamentally rethink the idea of Europeanness as a culture of dialogue and mutual respect. CHIEF aims to build an effective dialogue between different stakeholders in order to facilitate a future of Europe based on more inclusive notions of cultural heritage and identity. The project is innovative in its approach to cultural literacy of young Europeans by privileging the importance of production and transition of cultural knowledge in both formal educational settings initiated from above, and a variety of informal human interactions. These informal interactions are often overlooked despite their strong influence on how knowledge about European culture is acquired by young people. The project proposes to explore them by building an inter-disciplinary, multi-sectoral and transnational partnership in nine countries in and outside the EU. Through its research activities and social interventions, CHIEF will have a substantial impact on policies and practices facilitating intercultural dialogue in Europe. It will contribute to understanding and enhancing cultural literacy for young people, resulting in greater appreciation of diversity. The project will lead to more effective use of European cultural heritage as a site of production, translation and exchange of heterogeneous cultural knowledge. Moreover, it will help to recognize existing innovative practices and develop a new organisational model to enhance cultural and inter-cultural competence of young Europeans. Finally, it will empower and bolster the innovative capacities of its beneficiaries.
