Meeting Description:

The 4th ENIEDA Conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education

in cooperation with
The Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University, Sweden &
The Teacher Training College, Vršac, Serbia

Negotiating and Constructing European Identities across Languages and Cultures
Vršac, Serbia, 29 September-1 October 2011

In an effort to consolidate and expand further its presence in the
region of South-East Europe, and following a series of successful
events that have already promoted ENIEDA and its achievements in the
area of linguistic and intercultural education, we are pleased to
announce that the 4th ENIEDA conference is poised to intensify and
diversify these activities in both theory and practice.

Drawing on the pluralistic ethos expressed in the Council of Europe's
1982 Recommendations to the member states concerning language policy –
‘that the rich heritage of diverse languages and cultures in Europe is
a valuable common resource to be protected and developed, and that a
major educational effort is needed to convert that diversity from a
barrier to communication into a source of mutual enrichment and
understanding’ – our main ambition is to strengthen the links between
the north and the south, as well as the east and the west of Europe in
order to identify new collaborative and networking opportunities, both
of which will inform future directions of research and development.
These links are to be further enhanced through the activities of
ENIEDA members and associates, by being professionally active across
Europe and establishing stronger and long-lasting relationships and
collaborations.

The conference invites interdisciplinary approaches to linguistic and
cross-cultural education – related topics concerning the current
dynamics in Europe between old and new trends, local and global
tendencies, progressive and conservative views, stabilisation and
destabilisation patterns, national and European identities. A special
focus is on exploring the communication strategies and behaviour
patterns by means of which local/regional/national identities are
being negotiated and constructed across cultural borders. Even though
our aim is to focus primarily on the European context, we always
welcome participants representing other geographical and geo-political
regions and their contributions as well.

The following keynote speakers confirmed their participation:

Professor Cornelia Ilie, Malmö University, Sweden
Ms. Maguelonne Déjeant-Pons, Head of the Cultural Heritage, Landscape and
Spatial Planning Division of the Council of Europe
Professor Srikant Sarangi, Cardiff University, UK
Dr Teodora Popescu, University of Alba Iulia, Romania

The conference venue is Hotel Srbija, Vršac, Serbia
(www.hotelsrbija.rs), and additional information about travel
arrangements, accommodation, registration and other practical details
will shortly be posted on the conference website

The participation fee is 70 euro. The reduced fee of 50 euro will
