Report: Eurobarometer survey on intercultural dialogue (december 2007)

---

Results of the Eurobarometer survey on intercultural dialogue

Three in four EU citizens welcome the dialogue with other cultures according to the latest Eurobarometer on cultural and ethnic diversity commissioned by the European Commission in 2007. Almost three quarters of EU citizens (72%) believe that people with a different background (ethnic, religious or national) enrich the cultural life of their country, while a quarter (23%) of citizens disagrees with that idea. Respondents were asked about the patterns of their interaction with people of different cultures, about their general attitude towards cultural diversity and, specifically, about the upcoming European Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008
