Pays : Hongrie
Langue(s) : anglais
Date : du 14-10-2010 au 15-10-2010
Lieu : Pécs
Organisation : University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UNEECC)
jointly organized with the COMPOSTELA Group of Universities
Programme :
The conference in Pécs (European Capital of Culture 2010) will focus on the themes of ´Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion´, and the ´Assessment of the European Capitals of Culture Programme´.
1. Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
Combating poverty and social exclusion are key notions in both the Lisbon Strategy and its successor ‘Europe 2020’. Given the important role assigned to higher education in both strategies, universities should ask themselves whether and if so, to what extend they contribute to this objective, especially in this European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. Do they recognise the right of people in poverty and social exclusion to live in dignity and to play a full part in society? Do they acknowledge public ownership of social inclusion policies, emphasising everyone's responsibility in tackling poverty and marginalisation? Do they contribute to a more cohesive society which recognises that society as a whole benefits from the eradication of poverty? And are they convinced that this combat requires the commitment of all actors, because real progress requires a long-term effort that involves all levels of governance?
2. The Assessment of the European Capitals of Culture Programme
As the European Capiltals of Culture programme celebrates it 25th anniversary in 2010 an overall assessment of the programme is due. The University Network of European Capitals of Culture has the unique capacity to do precisely that: assess the impact of the ECoC programme in all its aspects, both on a local and a European level. On top of evaluating specific ECoCs or particular aspects (cultural, economic, social, political impacts) time has come to reflect on the assessment of ECoCs itself.
The conference organisers have launched a call for papers and presentations (.doc). Submissions are welcomed from universities and other higher education institutions that are members of UNeECC, the Compostela Group and/or are located in cities which are, have been, or will be designated European Capitals of Culture.
The deadline for proposals and abstracts is 1 April 2010.
