The first-ever session of The European Cultural Parliament showed a very promising initiative. In 2002, it was a completely new project offering a forum for debate and a meeting point for artists and other cultural personalities from all over Europe. Around 40 cultural personalities representing various arts sectors and coming from 25 countries participated and discussed the theme “How can European artists and other cultural personalities contribute to better understanding between cultures, religions and regions?” The session was held in the College of Europe in cooperation with Bruges – Cultural Capital of Europe 2002.
